We can't decide to pull out now, and we want to do this for the nation. So we are calling on the Ministry of Sports and the Football Association to help us."He stressed that the needed assistance must be prompt to enable them save Ghana's remaining two African slots or improve upon it by leaving a lasting impression on their debut.Ghana lost her previous four African slots following consistent withdrawals and poor results.New Edubiase would open their debut account next weekend in Accra against Congolese side Diables Noirs.Meanwhile their bankroller, late David Lamptey would be laid to rest on Saturday at the Osu Cemetery after a funeral service at the forecourt of the State House later this weekend.
