Portugal is competing in Group H of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, with Ghana, Uruguay and South Korea.

The Portugal national team enters the match, and it is one of the most prominent candidates for the World Cup title, and aims to achieve 3 points against Ghana in order to send a message to the rest of the competitors that it is capable and worthy of competing for the World Cup title in Qatar.

Cristiano Ronaldo is playing the World Cup for the fifth time in his history, and hopes to win the title, especially since it is the last for his age, “37 years.” Portugal, nicknamed “Brazil Europe”, also records the eighth appearance in the World Cup, and sets his eyes on the most expensive tournament in the history of the game.

Portugal national team tops the list of the most expensive teams in terms of marketing value in Group H, which includes Portugal, Uruguay, South Korea and Ghana.

The marketing value of the Portugal national team amounts to 937 million euros, according to the global “Transfer Market” website, to surpass Uruguay, which ranks second, while Ghana comes third, and South Korea ranks bottom.

The achievements of the Portuguese national team at the international level are summarized in winning the Euro 2016 title and the European Nations League 2019 under the leadership of veteran coach Fernando Santos.

On the other hand, the Ghana national team, nicknamed the “Black Stars”, which is participating for the fourth time in history in the World Cup, is seeking to achieve a surprise and score match points.

The Ghanaian national team aspires to repeat the achievement of the 2010 South Africa tournament when it reached the quarter-finals and was just around the corner from being the first African team to reach the semi-finals.
