Sports Journalist, Collins Atta Poku of Sompa Tv / Radio says the Black Stars of Ghana are 35 percent ready for the Qatar 2022 World Cup.

Bishop Atta Poku of TeraOne Media was speaking to Nanayaw Amponsah Romeo of Todays 101.7fm, a radio station based in Ejura-Ashanti on their afternoon sports show dubbed Todays Sports Xtra

The broadcast journalist cited numerous reasons that led to this grade. The Sompa Fm journalist said the timing for the global tournament is one of the  reasons for his rating . Papa Poku further elaborated that previously countries had two to three weeks to prepare for the global festival after the main stream season has ended in Europe and other continents but unfortunately countries have less time to prepare for this years tournament due to the timing of the biggest football festival. 

Atta Poku went to say that the English Premier League will release players to their national teams barely a week before the tournament kick starts on Sunday November 20

Papa POKU said,” We don’t have enough opportunities to train, there are a lot of new players in our team making preparations and team cohesion difficult”.

He told the host, Prof Romeo, “team cohesion is achieved through countless team training but unfortunately our team lacks that”. The new players have had only two games under their berth making it difficult for the old players to know the movement pattern of our guys.
