Samuel Eto’o, an ambassador for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar for Africa, expressed confidence in an African nation taking home the trophy.
The football icon stated that he is unable to explicitly name the African country that will bring home the surprise while speaking to Nana Aba Anamoah on StarrFM.

“Ghana has proven that it is possible for an African country to win the World Cup. Football is all about details and we had enough time to learn.
“In 2010, Ghana was very close to having a shot at winning the World Cup, so it only means we are getting close to it. It’s possible for an African country to win the World Cup in Qatar. It’s just 7 games.”
“This is the Africa we want to see, that African countries allow the sons of their land to take control of affairs as coaches of national teams.
“What unites us as citizens is our national teams where when we are playing everybody is rooting behind the team.”
In other news, controversial sports journalist Daniel Kwaku Yeboah, former Black Stars captain Asamoah Gyan is still preferable to all current Black Stars strikers.
He asserts that no striker in the current Black Stars lineup, with the exception of Inaki Williams, who recently said he would rather play for Ghana than Spain, is better than Gyan.
“The truth is that, with our current strikers, Asamoah Gyan is better than them but if Inaki Williams is available, no coach will play Asamoah. It is not that he is better than Asamoah but he is active and he is a very good player. But for Felix Gyan and the likes, he is better than all of them. But Williams is good,” he said on Peace FM.
