The National Sports Authority has clarified that their GH₵36k request for the usage of the Baba Yara Stadium for the CAF Confederation Cup second leg semi-finals between Dreams FC and Zamalek was actually intended for the Ghana Football Association.
An excerpt of the letter regarding the NSA's demand on the FA Cup champions went viral on social media after the Still Believe side had announced free entry to ensure a charged atmosphere for the crucial encounter.
The letter also stated that the NSA intends to use the amount to prepare the facility for what they deemed a ‘Category A’ match.
However, speaking to Asempa FM, their spokesperson, Charles Amofah stated that the intended target was to obtain assistance from the Ghana FA, not the Ghanaian club.
"When you read the letter that the Ashanti Regional Acting Director [NSA] wrote to the FA, it clearly stated that the reason NSA is asking for a little support is based on the club's decision [to allow free entry],” He said.
“We have a good relationship with the FA. We did not write to Dreams FC. A copy was sent to Dreams because they are involved in the game, so it is only fair that they are aware of any communication.
“This issue is an issue of miscommunication between the two parties. Dreams should have had a wider consultation with the managers of the facility before announcing free entry.”
Dreams have maintained an unbeaten record at home in the competition and will rely on the support of their fans at the Baba Yara Stadium to help them overcome the Egyptians.
