Ex-Germany international Gerald Asamoah has expressed scepticism about an African nation winning the FIFA World Cup.
The former Schalke forward, who is of Ghanaian heritage, believes countries from the continent still face challenges in competing at the highest level of global football.
Morocco remains the only African side to have reached the semi-final stage of the tournament, achieving that feat at the 2022 edition in Qatar.
Other nations, including Ghana and Senegal, have come close by making it to the quarter-finals, but have ultimately fallen short of clinching the trophy.
"I want to see this before I leave the earth but it is not going to be easy.
"It is about teamwork and this is a problem Africans have. We have always some issues in the team."
The next World Cup will be held in 2026 across the USA, Canada and Mexico, with qualifiers still ongoing.
Ghana's Black Stars, who sit top of Group I with 15 points, face Chad and Mali in September's World Cup qualifiers.
