Ghana to host Jamaica in Accra
Accra, October 8, Ghanadot/GNA - Ghana's Black Stars for the
first time in nearly three years may be heading home next
week to engage Jamaica in an international friendly.
The switch of venue has become necessary after organizers of
the proposed friendly against Jamaica, which was originally
slated for London on October 14 called off the game, citing
security difficulties.
Information gathered by the GNA Sports indicates that the
Stars are likely to host the encounter at the renovated El-Wak
stadium in Accra on Wednesday, October 17.
The British Metropolitan Police were apprehensive in
policing the game, which prompted the administrators of the
Leyton Orient venue to withdraw their permission to host the
encounter.
With several other London Clubs said to have turned down the
offer to host the encounter, the Ghana Football Association,
(GFA) which is bent on taking advantage of FIFA's three days
for international friendlies are said to have decided to
turn to the home venue.
The decision is to aid the preparations of the Stars towards
the biennial event beckoning Ghana next January.
The game in Accra will be the Ghanaians first game after
playing in the World Cup qualifiers in 2005.
