Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ghanaian-born Mohammed Muntari made his World Cup debut for Qatar against Ecuador on Sunday. The striker was introduced in the second half and did little to prevent Qatar from losing 2-0 in their 2022 World Cup opener.<\/p>\n

Muntari developed his talent in his native continent before relocating to Asia, where he has established himself as one of Qatar’s key players. The 28-year-old was born in Kumasi, the second largest city in Ghana, and started his career at The Golden Lions Soccer Academy, run by former Ghana international Odartey Lamptey.<\/p>\n

He joined Qatari club El Jaish in 2012, where he made his pro debut and played a total of 45 games, scoring 18 goals. Muntari moved to Lekhwiya in 2015, where he stayed for two years before leaving to join Al-Duhail. He did not make the team right away and was loaned out twice to Al Ahli before returning in 2019 and scoring 13 goals in 45 games.<\/p>\n

Muntari, a graduate of TI Ahmadiyya Senior High School graduate, naturalised to play for Qatar in 2014 and made his debut in a friendly against Estonia. He has since scored 13 goals in 48 appearances for the Arab nation.<\/p>\n
