MoYS will enplane foreign base Meteors

Published on: 18 October 2019

Ministry of youth and Sports refund all monies due Black Meteors players who purchased their own ticket for their fixture against Algeria.

The foreign-based players of the team were told to purchase their own tickets by the Sports Ministry to enable them join the national team ahead of the U-23 Africa Cup of Nations scheduled for next month.

The Ministry however has reverted the decision.

The local component of the national Under-23 male soccer team is currently in camp preparing for the CAF Under-23 Championships slated for Cameroon in January 2019. All monies due the players for the tickets purchased for the Ghana-Algeria game that ensured their qualification to the tournament have been paid to the 12 players who flew from their Europe base for the said assignment.

The Acting General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Mr Alex Asante has been tasked to contact their teams abroad for their release so we can purchase their tickets on time as they join their colleagues at home before they emplane for the tournament early next month.

The Black Meteors of Ghana have been drawn in Group A alongside hosts Egypt, Mali and Cameroon for the 2019 U-23 AFCON tournament which will be staged in Egypt from November 8-22.
