2022 World Cup: We are here to make history, says Ghana captain Andre Ayew

-

Captain Andre Ayew says the Black Stars have enough quality to make history at the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.

Ghana arrived in the Gulf country on Friday after wrapping up their preparations with a 2-0 win over Switzerland on Thursday.

The Al Sadd player, who is making his third World Cup appearance, believes there is quality in the Black Stars set up to make an impression at the Mundial.

“Football’s not about taking revenge. We simply want to win and make our country proud,” he told the media on arrival in Doha.

“We have to do our best to make the continent proud because playing the World Cup is actually for the whole of Africa, not just Ghana alone. And that’s really all we intend to focus on.

”We have quality in this team, the players are bent on making history so we are here to make the best out of it,” he added.
