“We know what Ghana can do in 2022 World Cup qualifiers”- SA head coach


Bafana Bafana coach Molefi Ntseki has reflected on the preliminary draw of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers for CAF on Tuesday evening.
Bafana were drawn into Group G, alongside Ethiopia, Zimbabwe and Ghana, as the top 40 African nations were placed into 10 groups of four teams.
The second round will see a total of 30 teams drop out of the competition, before the top team from each group will play a qualifier to determine the five CAF representatives.
“We are in the top 40, so the expectation is for us to qualify for the top 10 and then to go and make the last five teams to go to Qatar 2022.
Every draw is a tough draw because the expectation is that all these top 40 teams will play to qualify for the World Cup, so we are fully aware of Ghana and their qualities.
We are fully aware of Zimbabwe, our neighbours, and also of Ethiopia that have done very well in their prelims against Lesotho to be at this stage.
So, all the teams that are in our group will get the same respect because they deserve to be at this stage of the qualifiers, and it will be a tough one but we are hopeful and looking forward to a good start in the road to the 2022 FIFA World Cup.”
The opening round of fixtures set to take place in October this year and will reach its completion in October next year, before the play-off matches will decide the qualified teams in November 2021.

The ex-Ghana international was sacked in July this year, just nine months into his three-year contract. He dragged the club to the Ghana Football Association demanding his 2 years salary, league trophy cash, and CAF Confederations Cup group stage entitlements. The Player Status Committee ruled that the club was not justified in terminating the contract of the former Hearts of Oak gaffer. Both parties are yet to be furnished with a copy of the ruling. Akonnor rejected an offer to head the club’s technical directorate and left his post under bitter circumstances. The gaffer had been in charge for a close to a year having had stints with Kotoko sworn rivals Hearts of Oak and regional rivals Ashantigold. He had also coached D...
