Ghana
cancels Mexico meeting
Accra, April 20, GNA – Ghana has pulled out of the scheduled
June 3 international friendly meeting with the Mexican
national soccer team.
Black Stars head coach, Claude Le Roy who announced this in
Accra on Friday said that the team cannot honour the game,
which falls on the Federation of International Football
Association (FIFA)’s day for friendly matches.
This will be the first time this year that Ghana will be
missing out of the FIFA dates.
The Stars will, however, parade against another world-class
team when the scheduled resumes in August.
The Coach said the Black Meteors impending Olympic Games
qualifier against Nigeria on June 3 influenced his decision
not to honour the friendly encounter.
“The Meteors game is one of importance that needs extra
attention”.
The coach’s decision is also to afford the Meteors coach,
Sir Cecil Jones Attuquayefio the luxury of selecting players
like Asamoah Gyan, Michael Helegbe and Haminu Draman among
others who double as members of the two national teams.
Ghana set up an appointment with Mexico after Switzerland
pulled out of a meeting with the West African 2006 World Cup
debutants and surprisers.
