As reported earlier that the Black Stars of Ghana will play Brazil in a pre-world cup friendly, the clash has been confirmed.
The two teams will face off in Le Havre, France on September 23, 2022 as part of preparations ahead of the Qatar 2022 FIFA World Cup according to the Ghana Football Association.
Ghana would later take on Nicaragua in Spain on Tuesday, September 27, 2022 to wrap up preparations for the world’s prestigious competition.
The two times African champions will battle Uruguay, Portugal and South Korea in Group H of the tournament scheduled for November.
Brazil is the most successful national team in the history of the World Cup, having won five titles, earning second-place, third-place and fourth-place finishes twice each. Brazil is one of the countries besides Argentina, Spain and Germany to win a FIFA World Cup away from its continent (Sweden 1958, Chile 1962, Mexico 1970, USA 1994 and South Korea/Japan 2002). Brazil is the only national team to have played in all FIFA World Cup editions without any absence or need for playoffs. Brazil also has the best overall performance in World Cup history in both proportional and absolute terms with a record of 73 victories in 109 matches played, 124 goal difference, 237 points and only 18 losses.
