The Black Stars will tackle Portugal in the opening game of the Group before facing Asian and South American giants South Korea and Uruguay respectively.

In an interview, the former Sunderland defender charged the Black Stars players to prepare their minds well before the start of the tournament, saying a win for Ghana in their first game will keep the team going at the mundial.

“They have to stay together as a team, fight together and I believe they can achieve for themselves and as a nation at large”
