Kurt Okraku denies Black Stars Europe camping reports

President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku has refuted reports in the media that suggests that the Black Stars are scheduled to camp in Europe later this month ahead of the World Cup qualifiers despite the postponement of the June qualifiers.

The African Qualifiers for the World Cup were slated to come off in June but the Confederation of African Football (GFA) decided to move the games to September due to ‘challenges caused by Covid-19’

Ghana will take on Ethiopia and South Africa in the qualifiers for the World Cup.

Reports emerged that the GFA were adamant on sending the team for a pre-qualifiers camp in Europe but Okraku denied the reports in a post on his Facebook page, Kurt Okraku.

“I read in the public space about a purported plan by our FA to camp (Black Stars) in Europe even though our June World Cup games have been shifted to September, 2021.

“The Ghana FA / Sports Ministry have not made that call and in due season, we will officially roll out our plan for the team.”

The Black Stars will be hoping to qualify for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after missing out on the 2018 edition in Russia.
