Ghana qualified for FIFA World Cup

Ghana has qualified for the FIFA World Cup, which will be played in Qatar at the end of this year. The African country had enough in the play-offs with a draw against Nigeria (1-1), after it had not gone further than 0-0 at home. In the African zone, the rule still applies in such cases that away goals are the deciding factor.

Arsenal’s Thomas Partey put Ghana ahead in the opening phase. William Troost-Ekong equalized from a penalty before half-time.

Ajax player Mohammed Kudus played with Ghana. The country last played at a World Cup in 2014.
