Ghana Can Win World Cup – Dr Patrice Motsepe
President of the Confederation of African Football [Caf], Dr Patrice Motsepe, believes Ghana is capable of winning the World Cup at senior level.
The West African country, after making a maiden appearance of the Mundial in 2006, played in the quarterfinals of the global showpiece in 2010 in South Africa for the first time, a performance that has been described as the best in the history of the country.
Dr Motsepe, who is on a two-day visit in Ghana, speaking to the media on Thursday, expressed trust in Ghana’s chances of winning the Mundial.
“Ghana has produced some of the best footballers in the world,” he said.
“This country has the talent and resources to produce a national team that can win the Afcon, but also win a World Cup.
“African football is one of the best in the world. We are confident African nations will do very well at the World Cup in Qatar [next year].
“We must stop being excessively pessimistic and negative (about the World Cup), there is no continent that has succeeded by dwelling on its failures. An African team must win the World Cup in the near future.
“Very soon Ghana will be dominant on the African continent. Ghana must always be at the apex of the sport,” Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku said at Thursday’s press conference.
In 2014, the Black Stars shockingly exited from the Mundial at the group phase, making it the worse performance in the history of the country.
The West African country, however, failed to book a place in the 2018 global showpiece in Russia.
The Stars, now under new coach Milovan Rajevac, are currently in the running for a possible spot at next year’s World Cup in Qatar.

The 36-year-old returned to the Ghana Premier League last season after signing for Legon Cities, but rarely played before parting ways with the club after just a year.
Currently promoting his autobiography, titled ‘Legyandary: the story of Asamoah Gyan’, the veteran striker said every player would love to play at the World Cup.
He, however, explained that he is currently not fit enough to play at the highest level, which all but rules out his chances of playing in the tournament.
“Who doesn’t want to play at the World Cup? Every player wants to play at the World Cup,” he said on Citi TV, as quoted by Ghanaweb.
“Yes, I have tasted the World Cup three times and though I would love to play at this year’s World Cup, as I have always said, I am currently not fit enough to play active football but when I Start playing – who knows?”
The former Sunderland and Al Ain forward further revealed that he will be in Qatar for the World Cup as a pundit.
The striker’s book launch will come off on Saturday, April 30, 2022, at the plush Kempinski Gold Coast Hotel in Accra.

Ghanaian referee Kenney Padi says he is yet to have an erection since officiating in the Super Clash game between Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League Week 24 fixture.
The Class one referee awarded a controversial penalty to Asante Kotoko which enabled the league leaders to beat their arch-rivals by a lone goal at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium.
The penalty decision generated a lot of talks and his performance also questioned on the day.
Hearts of Oak reported referee Kenney Padi to the Ghana Football Association over his performance.
Referee Padi in an interview on Wenchi-based Ewiase FM has revealed that he has been hunted by the decision to award the penalty and has not had an erection in bed since then.
“I have not had erection since the day I awarded the penalty against Hearts of Oak.
“Sometimes I get strange and horrific nightmares, I can’t sleep,” he stated.
Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association Match Review Panel has suspended referee Kenny Padi for the rest of the season after he was found guilty of erring in the penalty decision in the league game between Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko.
Referee Padi was reported by Hearts of Oak for his role in their 1-0 loss to bitter rivals Kotoko in the Ghana Premier League.
Padi gave Kotoko a penalty in the first half, which Franck Mbella Etouga converted to secure the Porcupine Warriors’ victory.
The Phobians insisted it was a dubious call, and they have been proven right by the Match Review who ruled that Padi will not officiate any match for the rest of the season.
