At full international level, they have won the African Nations Cup in 1963, 1965, 1978 & 1982, but it took until 2006 for them to qualify for their first World Cup Finals.

The Ghanaians played their first international match in 1950, beating Nigeria 1-0 in Accra, their biggest win came when putting twelve past Malawi without reply, whilst the Black Stars suffered their worst defeat to Brazil, losing 8-2 in March 1996.

The player to have pulled on the Ghana shirt on the most occasions is Abedi Pele (67 caps), he is also his country's top goalscorer with 33 goals. Tony Yeboah, Michael Essien, Patrick Agyemang and Nii Lamptey are other famous Ghanaians to play for their country.

World Cup Kits

The Ghanaians have stuck to a simple white design for their football team which is usually accompanied with black detailing. Having played in two World Cups prior to the 2014 tournament their home shirt has been super simple. The new Ghana home shirt for the 2014 World Cup reveals their trademark white appearance while a subtle feature includes a tribal pattern on the collar and shoulders symbolising Ghana culture. The same tribal pattern is also featured on the sleeve hems while black trim is included on the numbers and branding.

The tribal pattern featured on the collar of the 2014 home shirt is inspired by Kente cloth design which is a traditional form of art in Ghana. The Kente pattern features multi-colour designs consisting of different shapes forming an eye catching display. The new home shirt will be complemented with white shorts and socks. The 2014 Ghana away shirt is mostly red featuring an enlarged watermark of a tribal pattern on the front of the shirt. The shorts also feature the same pattern while the shirts, shorts and socks have yellow trim added.

With German brand Puma having made both kits so far there has been little variation with the plain white shirt, shorts and socks creating a vibrant and unique shirt design. Changes have been made to the trim but it is unlikely that Ghana will stray far from the basic look. Ghana have a red and yellow striped away shirt so there is little need for too much design to the home shirt.

Memorable Ghana home shirts including several exploration designs in the 90's involving bright yellow, red and green colours in relation to Ghana's national flag.

In terms of away kits Ghana have mostly used red kits which is usuallu accompanied with yellow, gold, green or black trim. A memorable away shirt in 2010 to 2012 featured an all red display with green and yellow stripes on the front.

Reaching the quarter-finals of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa the Ghana team will be looking to repeat that success. They are arguably in the hardest group of the tournament where they have to play Germany, Portugal and the United States.

The Black Stars have had several kit suppliers in their history including Puma, Umbro, Kappa and adidas. Throughout the history of Ghana football their white shirt has become one of the most recognised African kits on the globe.
