Ghanaians have angrily reacted to a statement issued by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Tuesday evening.
The GFA in the statement published on its website threatened to open legal proceedings against any persons who malign and defame the football governing body and the men’s senior national team.
The statement reads.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has noticed that a few persons are deliberately maligning and defaming the GFA and the Black Stars brand in an attempt to manufacture a non-existent scandal about the team.
While the Association will continue to encourage feedback and opinions (devoid of insults, personal attacks, and brand devaluation), the destruction of the brand from deliberate lies, misinformation and defamatory comments must be curbed, as the Black Stars remains a global brand that unites all Ghanaians.
The Ghana Football Association has therefore instructed its lawyers to institute legal action against persons who defame the Association, its officials, products and destroy the Black Stars brand as well as the media platforms used to do same.
The legal forum will provide the opportunity for these persons to bring any evidence to substantiate their allegations.
However, the threat hasn’t been received well by Ghanaians as over 700 fans have invaded the Facebook page of the GFA to attack the association.
