Cash-strapped Ghana FA suspends national teams camping
Posted On Friday, 22nd June 2012
Ghanaian Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi
The Ghana Football Association has asked three junior national teams to end their camping due to the lack of funds to feed them at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
The national Under-17 female and male teams and the women’s Under-20 team have been asked to go home indefinitely.
However, the male Under-20 team will be preparing at a different location for their 2013 African Youth Championship qualifier next month.
The sports ministry funds the national teams and it is understood it has been unable to come up with the funds to support the national team.
“The coaches were told to suspend camping on Thursday because the Ghana FA cannot fund their feeding,” a source told MTNFootball.com
“Some of the coaches even had to personally contribute to provide food for the players.”
The Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence, a FIFA goal project, has been the camping base for all junior national teams.
The Black Maidens and Black Princesses are preparing for this year’s FIFA Under-17 and 20 World Cup finals respectively.
The Black Starlets have a 2013 African Under-17 Championship qualifier against Gambia in October.

With all these administrative hiccups,you think you will beat ZAMBIA!!!
CAN YOU IDIOT DOGS stay out of our affairs??
@ Phiri
If you are knowledgeable enough you will know that all PROJECTS among other attributes have a scope, defined objectives,resources, responsibility and CONSTRAINTS
If the project of camping our national teams has encountered some financial constraints for which reason an alternative measure is being taken, what is your business about that?
This is not an administrative hiccup.
You Zambians complain that very often GSN puts the spotlight on you. Is this particular news item about Zambia?
Just mind your own business and find something useful to do with your life
OH! And the FIFA FORBIDS any 3rd party auditing of GFA accounts. HHHMMM GFA!!!
SHAME ON YOU!!!
When all of you went to Zambia unnecessarily to watch that game if you had saved that money it could have been used to fund this!
What happened to all the world cup money??
Africa Money ooooo Africa Money eeeey ……. Even Pastors dey chop chop chop…..
A public flogging of the smile small boy Nyan’chop’kyi ….?
Kekekekekekeeee!!!!!!
Gold…oil.copper rich country ..what has gone wrong
may be we overpaid witch doctors….after we over bought ..juju…on the Zambian match…lol
IDIOT!!
Nothing seems to be going right for the GFA.maybe we should put them on CN or KIDSCO
IS IT JUDGEMENT BEBT? OH THERE’S MONEY!
This is why u won’t qualify!! And u IDIOT stop using my blog name!! IDIOT!!
Zambians are pathetic.. A bunch of animals
This idiots Zambians,fools mine your own business,your mother one one,Kwasiafo.
IS IT JUDGEMENT DEBT? OH THERE’S MONEY!
Unless u stop talking about Zambia, they won’t stop! Let’s not be foolish! Idiots!
I just named my dog Zambia…What a bunch of useless RATS!
Actually there are many dogs in Zambia named ghana. I have been there before. IDIOT!!
I have name my pig big fool zambia
All big dirty pigs in zambia are called ghana. I’ve been there B4..
Foolish country like Zambia.Ur frm root of latrine and feed by woman menstrate
You too!! IDIOTS!
Let the Ghana Team come and camp in Ndola on our ticket just swallow your pride I heard in here some quark was boasting bout how rich ghana is in oil and minerals why can’t you just sell part of that and use the money for camping. Us zambiains with a humble background you don’t mind camping anywhere cheap or not but we deliver! Can one of you in here tell me if you heard chipolopolo boys being promised money as incentives while at AFCON games?? Nope! Just pure football, teamwork and pure dedication! West Africans you r just too into money and show off how can a player charter a jet after AFCON and couldn’t even go home first but heads for his club?! Total rubbish that can’t happen in zambia, team spirit and one love. Ghana be humble actually go to zambian sites and see if u will find big money exchanged for players or how indiscipline we are, no u won’t find. Have you forgotten what happen to our player at AFCON when he just failed to say “am sorry” that’s discipline. What u r seeing here is just us having fun!
Learn to mind your own business.
This piece is about Ghana’s own internal affair.Nobody has asked an alien of his views in a matter that does not concern them.
Let your unwelcome opinion remain in your conceited head
Find some money and pay your coach first
GOVERNMENT BEWARE, DO NOT INTERFERE IN GFA’S AFFAIRS BY GIVING THEM MONEY. THIS WILL AMOUNT TO ‘INTERFERRANCE’
So common camping GFA you can’t afford yet you don’t want government to Audit you,no matter what you need root to bear fruits.
Ahhh. can’t ghanasoccernet blog these guyz who are at each others troat?. i don’t thk Mr Sanni Darah created this site for ppl to be attacking each other. This is not our style at alllllll. u guys shld know tht wht ever u say shall bring to judgement some day.
GFA, I WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO GIVE YOU MONEY FOR THIS CAMPING ON CONDITION THAT YOU WILL OPEN YOURSELVES FOR AUDITING OR THAT WILL AMOUNT TO INTERFERENCE?
OGYAM,please, please,please be careful ooohh! GFA would sue you for “KONKONSA” ! If that does not work,they would report you to FIFA and as you know FIFA don’t joke about such “Interference” ! By the way does anybody know whether they have paid the rest of Plavi’s salary or compensation? Very hard times ahead ! THE WC-QUALI IS IN EXTREME DANGER!!! OH HO GFA!!!
The Ghana FA has been wasting money. Why camp in South Africa ahead of the Zambia clash if you are strapped for money? Why pay for FA officials to fly to Zambia ahead of the team if you are strapped for money?
Th governments funds you n yet GFA dnt wnt to be auditd.th government should imediatly stop fundin GFA
Some of you are just immature here, have you asked the government, where is the world cup money? the sport ministry is rather giving GFA problems by not releasing the monies they need in time, for me i think they are holding all this monies up for for their political campaigns because we are in election year.
The ministry is suppose to take care of the naional teams & not the FA.They dont want to realise the WC cash to the FA.
