Fred Acheampong reveals AshantiGold is not interested in Africa campaign

Published on: 26 October 2018

AshantiGold Chief Executive Officer Fred Acheampong claims the club respect the GFA Normalisation Committee decision to boycott CAF's inter-clubs competition for the next season.

Last week, the four-member committee met owners and administrators and it was there the unanimously agreed not to have any Ghanaian club in Africa.

However,  Asante Kotoko and Medeama have appealed that decision in the last few days and called on the ad hoc body in-charge of football in the country

According to the CEO, the Miners have decided not partake in the latest debate and has back the decision made the FIFA Normalisation Committee led by Dr. Kofi Amoah.

"At last Friday's meeting, the debate was not about which clubs qualify to go to Africa but whether Ghana should participate or not," he said.

"At the end of the day, the Normalization Committee decided that Ghana should not participate in Africa due to the current crisis."

He continued, ''That was what the discussion centred on. So for me, the issue about which clubs qualify to represent Ghana didn't come up at all. That is why we (Ashgold) have decided not be part of the latest debate over which clubs qualify or not.''
