The Ghana Football Association Communications Director, Henry Asante Twum has responded to the heavy criticism directed to the football governing body of the decision to camp the Black Stars in South Africa, insisting it was the decision of the head coach Chris Hughton.
The senior national team will be in Johannesburg for 10 days from December 31 for preparations ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
The announcement was met by enormous backlash with fingers pointing at the FA for the misuse of funds.
“The decision to camp in South Africa wasn’t taken by Kurt Okraku but the head coach of the team,” Henry explained on a whatsapp platform.
“We have provided the needed support to the technical team since they took office and have always allowed them to work independently, so all the FA did was to grant them approval when they presented their proposal/plan to leadership.”
Ghana will engage in an international friendly against Botswana on January 8 before flying to Abidjan two days later for the continental showpiece.
