Ghana secured their place in the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil despite a 1-2 defeat against Egypt in the play-offs. The Black Stars had already established a substantial lead with a 6-1 victory in the first leg, ensuring their qualification. Kevin Prince Boateng, a key player for Ghana, expressed his confidence in the team, stating that they are even stronger than in 2010.
Boateng expressed a desire to face Germany in the World Cup, as he would like to reunite with his brother, Jerome Boateng, who plays for the German national team. The draw for the World Cup groups was scheduled for December 3, 2014, and both Ghana and Germany were part of the selection process. If drawn in the same group, it would provide an opportunity for a competitive and potentially emotional encounter between the Boateng brothers.
