Ghanaââ¬â¢s slots for the 2015 CAF inter-clubs competitions have been reduced from four to two, the Ghana FA has confirmed.
This was after CAF released its ranking for next yearââ¬â¢s competition where the 12 highest ranked associations are eligible to enter two teams each in the CAF Champions League and CAF Confederation Cup.
Ghana lost its third and fourth co-efficient because the poor performance of clubs in the 2014 competition.
None of the four teams- Asante Kotoko, Berekum Chelsea, Medeama and Ebusua Dwarfs-were able to reach the Group stage of both competitions.
ââ¬ÅThe 2013/2014 season, Ghana had four slots but somewhere this week, CAF wrote to the federation that I had to do a telephone confirmation that Ghanaââ¬â¢s slots have been reduced from four to two- one for the Confederation Cup and one for the Champions League,â⬠Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi said.
ââ¬ÅAnd the rationale for it is because of Ghanaââ¬â¢s deteriorating ranking. I think Ghana was 13th but now 33 or so and so that is why we have lost our slots.ââ¬
