Former Ghana international, John Paintsil, has tipped the Black Stars to reach the final of the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

Ghana’s best performance in the history of the Mundial came in 2010 where the team played in the quarterfinals, Paintsil was a key figure for the side.

The 41-year-old, speaking in an interview, said the experience garnered over three previous World Cup appearances makes the Black Stars prime candidates for success in Qatar.
