The Qatar 2022 campaign
Ghana followed a narrow defeat by Portugal with a 3–2 win against South Korea. That left them in contention before Uruguay won the final fixture 2–0. Ghana finished fourth with three points. Their campaign's attacking potential is most visible in the opening two games, while the scoreless final match explains the qualification outcome.
Reading the record
Ghana recorded 1 win, 0 draws and 2 defeats across 3 matches, scoring 5 goals and conceding 7. FIFA’s match summaries record 10 attempts on target from 25 total attempts during their campaign.
Shoot-outs decide which team advances, but their kicks are excluded from the goal totals above. Matches decided on penalties count as draws in this win–draw–loss record; extra-time goals count towards the match score.
Matches to revisit
South Korea is Ghana's winning performance; Uruguay is the last test that ended the campaign.
Final Group H standings
Ghana finished fourth with 3 points. The top two teams advanced to the round of 16.
