Ghana qualified for the World Cup three times on the trot in 2006, 2010 and 2014 but missed out on the 2018 edition in Russia.

The Black Stars are aiming to return to the quadrennial showpiece, with the next edition scheduled to be hosted in Qatar next year.

As it stands, South Africa are sitting at the top of Group G following their 1-0 win over Zimbabwe.

However, Ghana, who are three points behind, could still top the group if they manage to beat Bafana Bafana in the last group game in Cape Coast on Sunday.
