Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ghana captain Andre Ayew spent time with legendary Ivory Coast and Manchester City star Yaya Toure during the FIFA 2022 World Cup draw in Doha.<\/p>\n

The Black Stars forward and the Ivorian spoke at length about the draw as Ghana were drawn in Group H alongside Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea.<\/p>\n

Yaya Toure has been at two World Cups, same as the Al Sadd player and both have enormous experience at the international level.<\/p>\n

Andre Ayew will be leading the Black Stars in Qatar, where he currently plays in the Qatari Stars League.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old played a key role as Ghana reached the quarter-finals of the World Cup in 2010 and scored two goals at the 2014 edition as Ghana bowed out at the group stages.<\/p>\n

Ghana opens her tournament against the last team they played against in 2014, Portugal, before facing Asian giants South Korea in the next group game.<\/p>\n

The African powerhouse will wrap up their group campaign with a clash against the first ever winners of the Mundial in 1930, Uruguay.<\/p>\n

Ghana, the four-time African champions will be making their fourth appearance at the Mundial after participating in the 2006, 2010 and 2014 editions.<\/p>\n

The West African giants returned to the World Cup on Tuesday after eliminating regional rivals Nigeria, advancing on away goal advantage.<\/p>\n

Due to Qatar’s intense summer heat, this World Cup will be held from late-November to mid-December, making it the first tournament not to be held in May, June, or July; it is to be played in a reduced timeframe of around 28 days.<\/p>\n
