The Ghana Football Association (GFA) intends to camp the Black Stars in Europe later this month despite the postponement of the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, JoySports has gathered.
Officials of the football governing body hinted to JoySports, their desire to allow the technical team to further assess the team and will use the qualifying dates for friendly matches to this effect.
Per the explanation given to JoySports, moving the Qatar World Cup qualifiers to September this year, serves as an opportunity for Coach C.K. Akonnor and his team to play some friendly matches to bide time.
We understand a communique has been sent to the Sports Ministry for approval of the Association's schedule for the tour of Europe.
It is unclear which countries the FA intends the Black Stars to play friendly matches against, but a detailed plan including budget has been submitted to the Minister's office for consideration.
It would be recalled that, President Nana Akufo-Addo in a recent breakfast meeting with selected Chief Executive Officers (CEOs) to raise funds for the country's preparations and participation in continental and global tournaments, tasked the Black Stars to win the next African Cup of Nations (AFCON) to be staged in Cameroon.
Ghana was scheduled to play Ethiopia in their first 2022 World Cup qualifiers early next month.
