After Nigeria and South Africa themselves, it's now the turn of Ghana's Black Stars to make their debut at the 2010 World Cup.
This is only the second time they have ever qualified, after making their bow four years ago in Germany.
On World Cup Have Your Say today you can discuss the team's chances with the director of an award-winning documentary about football in Ghana.
Baff Akoto's examines
"how exactly a child kicking a ball in a rural African field ends up at a top European Club... and exactly what it takes to make this transition through the eyes of a talented local teenager, a Ghanaian international at one of Europe's most elite football clubs and Manchester United's chief African scout."
The documentary points out that Ghana's run of success in African Nations Cup tournaments led to them being dubbed "the Brazil of Africa." Now they have the chance to live up to that title on African soil. Can they make it happen?
