Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori during the club's new partnership announcement at Protea Hotel Fire & Ice on October 25.While the strong possibility of featuring in his first Fifa World Cup excites Orlando Pirates goalkeeper Richard Ofori, the Ghanaian international maintains his focus is solely on his club at the moment.
Jojo Wollacott of League One Charlton Athletic was Ghana's goalkeeper as they crashed out of the Africa Cup of Nations in the first round in January. In a sign that coach Otto Addo is still making up his mind on his No 1, four keepers have been used in this year's warm-up matches to the World Cup, with Ofori one of those.
Ofori said being part of the World Cup is the dream of any athlete and he is no different, but he knows that for him to play in Qatar against top nations Portugal, Uruguay and South Korea in Group H, he has to do well for Pirates. “So for me, at the moment I don’t really think about the national team because if you are not fit for your club you will go to the national team and mentally you will be weak.
