World Cup 2022: ”It’s Revenge Time Against Uruguay” – Kurt Okraku

Ghana Will Seek Revenge Against Uruguay

The much-awaited draw for the 2022 FIFA World Cup to be played in Qatar has been held in Qatar’s capital Doha this evening.

Their encounter in Group H, where the Black Stars will also face Portugal and South Korea, will be a repeat of the 2010 World Cup quarter-final.

Ghana were eliminated by Uruguay on penalties in South Africa, having seen Asamoah Gyan miss an extra-time spot-kick after Luis Suarez was sent off for handball.

In an interview with BBC Sport Africa, Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku said: ”We believe that it will be revenge time”

“We thought we had clearly won that particular game but for that save from Suarez. It is very interesting for us to pitch against them again, obviously with fond memories [this time].

“It is important that we all set the record straight.”

Striker Suarez, now 35 and at Atletico Madrid after stints with Liverpool and Barcelona, is still playing for two-time World Cup winners Uruguay, but Ghana are unlikely to have any survivors from their side from 12 years ago.

The Fifa World Cup takes place between 21 November and 18 December.
