Ghana’s World Cup History
Prior to thus year’s (2022) Ghana has qualified for three FIFA World Cup tournaments; 2006, 2010, and 2014.
Ghana back in the year 2006, was the only African country to advance to the second round of the 2006 FIFA World Cup with the youngest team in the tournament that every year.
In the 2010 World Cup, Ghana progressed beyond the group stages and reached the quarter-finals where they were eliminated by Uruguay. Ghana was defeated by Uruguay on penalties after Luis Suárez controversially handballed on the goal line deep into extra time, denying Ghana an almost certain winning goal.
Had Ghana won their quarter-final, they would have become the first African nation to progress to the semi-finals of the world cup. Of the 32 countries that participated in the 2010 FIFA World Cup, FIFA ranked Ghana 7th.
Congratulations to all Ghanaians and big shouts from Townflex.com to the Black Stars players, they really did well.
