FA Veep Denies Knowledge Of Stars-Bafana Friendly Cancellation

The Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, George Akwesi Afriyie says they are yet to receive any letter from the ministry concerning the cancellation of the Black Stars friendly game against Bafana Bafana.




In an exclusive interview on Nyhirah FM, Nii Lante Vanderpuye declared that due to the amount the country will derive from the friendly game, the ministry has decided against sanctioning the game.



However,George Afriyie has revealed that he only heard of the minister’s suggestions on the airwaves, but they are yet receive any official letter from the ministry.





He told Happy Fm sports, “We’ve not had any official letter in regards to what the minister said. I only heard it on the radio yesterday that he’ll not sanction the match, which I think It’s unfortunate.”



“I believe as minister if you don’t understand something concerning the Black Stars, the best people to contact is the FA rather than go on the radio station. If his argument is that the game will not benefit us economically because of the money we’ll get from the game isn’t enough, I don’t believe so.”


“I think the media is the cause of all this. How can a radio station call someone who doesn’t have any information on the Black Stars, when there people who have managed the team are there to be called for more explanation. I challenge anyone who says Zambia got 1 Million $ from the friendly game they played against Japan.”
