The West African country heads to the world’s biggest football tournament as the lowest-ranked team.

Ghana’s preparations have not been convincing but Mr Okraku says the Black Stars will be prepared for the tournament in Qatar.

“Our plan is to open our training camp in Abu Dhabi on November 10 where the team will camp for about nine days before we depart for the tournament,” Mr Okraku said as quoted by ghanafa.org.
