World Cup 2022: Otto Addo rally support for Black Stars ahead of Uruguay clash

Black Stars head coach Otto Addo has pleaded with Ghanaians to offer support to the team ahead of their final group game against Uruguay at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

Ghana and Uruguay face off at the Al Janoub Stadium on Friday at 15:00 GMT.

The two sides are in search of a ticket to the knockout stage with Ghana needing a win to automatically seal their spot in the next round of the tournament while the Uruguayans desperately need a win against Ghana to progress to the next round.

“We thank the fans and I know the boys are ready to express their appreciation on the pitch,” the 47-year-old told ghanafa.org.

“We urge the supporters to be behind the team on Friday and hopefully in our subsequent matches.”

The game will be a repeat of the 2010 World Cup quarter-final incident which saw Luis Suarez save his side with the handball incident as Ghana eventually bowed out of the tournament on penalty shootouts.

Black Stars are currently second in Group H while Uruguay lie bottom with only one point.
