Group E - Ghana:
Sulley Ali Muntari
Place of Birth: Konongo, Ghana
Date of Birth: August 27th, 1984
Position: Midfielder
Clubs: Liberty Professionals, Udinese
Muntari's abilities first came to light in youth tournaments, while he was playing for Liberty Professionals in Accra. As 16-year-old, he was already an integral member of Ghana's U-20 team as they finished runners-up at the 2001 FIFA World Youth Championship in Argentina, losing out to the hosts in the final.
Those performances caught the attention of scouts from Europe; he was soon packing his bags for Udinese. His first season was spent in the reserves, but his chance to shine was on its way and finally came at the San Siro on 6 November 2002, when he made his debut appearance against AC Milan of all teams.
The Rossoneri proved too strong on the day, yet Udinese's young apprentice left an instant impression. Elevation to Ghana's senior squad came next, and Muntari won his first cap against Burkina Faso in June 2004 as the Black Stars opened their 2006 FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign.
Sulley Ali Muntari's ball-winning ability and tactical sharpness make him a key figure in Udinese Calcio's midfield, with a powerful shot from long distance and set-pieces.
In the 2004/05 season he made 33 appearances Serie A, scoring his first two goals for the club, and also earned his UEFA Cup debut as Udinese finished fourth. He played in both legs of the UEFA Champions League third qualifying round tie against Sporting Clube de Portugal, as Udinese won 4-2 and reached the group stage.
