Ghana FA confirm Sierra Leone friendly has been cancelled

Published on: 10 November 2011

The Ghana Football Association has confirmed that Saturday international friendly against Sierra Leone in Paris has been cancelled.

A statement on the FA's official website read: "Following Sierra Leone's inability to organize their team and travels to the match venue within a limited time, the Ghana Football Association has received clear advice from the match organizer calling off the planned game."

A Sierra Leone news portal had earlier reported that match agent Gael Mahe was unable to raise the money to pre-finance the Leone Stars trip to Paris for the game.

Some players and officials of the Black Stars have begun filing in at the team's camp for this month's assignments.

Ghana was scheduled to play their West African neighbours on 12 November in a pre-AFCON test but will now have to settle on Gabon on 15 November in Paris.
