The Portugal vs Ghana FIFA World Cup Group H match is scheduled for Thursday, November 24 at 18:00 at the 974 Stadium in Doha and will be broadcast live on TVR 1.
Portugal go into the match against Ghana as favourites, even if the atmosphere in the Lusitanian camp is tense following the recent actions of Cristiano Ronaldo, who has just left Manchester United.
“All the stories that appeared about my bad relationship with Bruno Fernandes or Joao Cancelo are just fiction or speculation. There is no scandal, we get along perfectly,” said the star of Portugal.
CR7 also spoke about his participation in the World Cup in Qatar, which will be the last world final tournament in which he will play: “I am 37 years old, what do I still have to prove at this age?
I would be surprised if it was needed any longer. To win the World Cup at my age would be a dream, but if it doesn’t happen, I’ll be proud of what I’ve achieved in my career.”
Portugal, with Fernando Santos on the bench since 2014, qualified for the Gulf competition after a play-off in which they beat Turkey (3-1) and North Macedonia (2-0), who they played at the end of the previous group in 2nd place after Serbia.
And the course in the League of Nations was modest: three wins, one draw and two defeats, Portugal took second place after Spain.
In their last friendly before their 2022 World Cup debut, Portugal beat Nigeria 4-0 with goals from Bruno Fernandes (9, 35p), Gonzalo Ramos (82) and Joao Mario (84).
Ghana qualified for the World Cup after defeating Nigeria in the qualifying round (0-0 at home and 1-1 away), after finishing first in the previous group with South Africa, Ethiopia and Zimbabwe.
The most expensive player of the Ghana national team is the 29-year-old Arsenal central midfielder Thomas Partey, who is valued at 38 million euros, other stars in the group are Inaki Williams (Athletic Bilbao), Jordan Ayew (Crystal Palace), Andre Ayew (Al -Sadd), Mohammed Qudus (Ajax) and Denis Odoi (FC Brugge).
The team coached by Otto Addo won the last test match before the final tournament – 2:0 in Switzerland, with goals from Salis (70) and Semenop (74).
Before that, the two teams met only once, at the World Cup in Brazil (2014), when Portugal won the match against Ghana with a score of 2:1, goals were scored respectively by Boye (30a), Cristiano Ronaldo (80), Guyan (57).
