“The World Cup will be an interesting stage. We will go there and make Ghana and Africa proud so that when we bid to host in the future. we will be seriously considered because of the strong role we played.
“Experiences of the past, both positive and negative, will guide us into the future, ensuring that we do not just go to kick the ball, but that by the time the whole process ends, Ghana will emerge as one of the biggest winners,” Kofi Adams said.
Ghana will learn their opponents on Friday 5th December where the draw will be conducted in the USA.
