FIFA World Cup 2022: Why is Tariq Lamptey representing Ghana rather than England in Qatar?

Brighton full-back Tariq Lamptey has been allowed to demonstrate his talent since moving from Stamford Bridge to the Amex in 2021. Tariq Lamptey now has the chance to assist the Black Stars advance as far as they can in the Qatar competition.

Why is Tariq Lamptey playing for Ghana rather than England?

Lamptey, 22, was born in London and grew up at the Chelsea academy. Ahmed's father was born in Ghana, which is how the Brighton ace qualifies to play for Ghana.

The winger was called up to the England youth team and made 20 appearances. Lamptey, on the other hand, suffered a significant injury and missed the start of last season, where he was mainly utilised off the bench by previous Seagulls manager Graham Potter.


Lamptey's chances of breaking into the senior England team were dwindling.

What are Ghana's World Cup match dates?

• Portugal wins with three goals against two goals from Ghana.

• South Korea lost with two goals against three goals from Ghana.

• Uruguay vs Ghana on 2 December.
