The Public Relations Officer at the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Elvis Adjei-Baah, says his outfit is not aware of the Confederation of Africa Football decision to strip Ghana of hosting the 2018 Africa Women Cup of Nations Championship.

Ghana is scheduled to host the women championship slated from 17th November to 1st December 2018.

The PRO said they have not received any formal communication from CAF, hence preparations for the competition would remain on course.

“FIFA is coming down to meet governments delegation."

"The government would tell FIFA the current situation in our football circles and seek available solutions."

“The other members who would join Mr. Asiamah later."
