Reverend Kofi Pare is optimistic of Ghana's chances of winning the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar later this year.

The Black Stars qualified for the World Cup after outwitting rivals Nigeria in the play-offs in March.

And with a little over two months left for the Mundial to begin in Qatar, the 1964 Olympic Games squad member believes Ghana will be victorious.

"As at now that I am speaking their strength is not there yet but when they are able to uplift themselves, maybe they will win it," he told Ernest Brew Smith as quoted by Ghanaweb.

"In a spiritual realm, we can win the trophy. I mean the 2022 World Cup. We will win it. It's not like I have seen anything anywhere, no," added the 83-year-old.

Kofi Pare played for the Black Stars in the sixties and seventies, and was a member of former Ghana president Dr Kwame Nkrumah's pioneering team, the Republicans.

Meanwhile, the Black Stars have been handed a tough draw after they were paired with former European champions, Portugal, Asian heavyweights South Korea and nemesis Uruguay.

Ghana is making a return to the global football fiesta after missing the World Cup four years ago. It is the country's fourth appearance.
