With this summer’s FIFA World Cup being held on African soil for the first time, the pressure is on for the six qualified home teams to do their continent proud. Ghana will be competing in their second consecutive tournament, and after an impressive African Cup of Nations in Angola this January; in which they were finalists, they will be looking to continue the momentum this summer with a stronger squad at their disposal.
In Angola, the Black Stars featured many players from their U-20 World Cup winning side of 2009 and Coach Milovan Rajevac has kept faith by including the likes of Samuel Inkoom, Daniel Agyei, Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu, André “Dede” Ayew and Dominic Adiyiah in his provisional 29-man squad. Inkoom is predicted to continue his place at right-back after the 20-year-old impressed in the tournament, and he could be joined in the starting line-up by Marseille’s Ayew, the son of three-time African player of the year Abedi Pele, who incidentally will be accompanied in the squad by his half-brother Rahim Ayew of Zamalek.
