Ghana FA dismiss reports over World Cup qualifying ‘bribes’
26th July 2016
The Ghana Football Association have totally rejected claims about bribing their way to earn 2014 World Cup qualification, calling the report ‘palpably false’.
A report from Ghana Sports Newspaper this week has claimed to shed the light on a bribery case carried out by the Ghana Football Association, claiming that the Ministry of Youth and Sports spent more than $720,000 during the Black Stars’ 2014 World Cup qualifying campaign, including over $400,000 for the playoff against Egypt.
However, the Ghana FA said that such accusations diminish the team’s achievement of securing World Cup qualification, after their dominating 7-3 aggregate victory against Egypt, declaring that they may take the appropriate legal actions against these claims.
