Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC) President Ben Nunoo Mensah has put his faith in the country's football team and wished them good luck at the FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

The Black Stars are due to compete in the tournament for the fourth time in their history after appearances in 2006, 2010, and 2014.

"I really have faith in the coaches and believe they are capable of reaching an appreciable position at the Mundial" Nunoo Mensah said.

"We need the support of every Ghanaian to bring back the love and push the Black Stars forward, I know the winning spirit is back, I feel and know it.

"Ghana can do it when least is expected.

"Like in 2019 when we conquered the world at the youth stage, we can do it again at the senior level."

As well as commending the Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku, he said that captain André Ayew can inspire the team to perform.

Ayew, who plays in the Qatar Stars League for Al Sadd, recently became Ghana's most-capped player in a 2-0 win over Switzerland on November 17 to record his 110th appearance for the national team.

The 32-year-old overtook Asamoah Gyan's previous record of 109.

At Qatar 2022, scheduled to take place from today until December 18, Ghana have been drawn into Group H alongside Portugal, Uruguay, and South Korea.

Their campaign will begin against the Portuguese on November 24 at Stadium 974 in Doha.
