The Ghana government and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) have both written desperate letters to Fifa to avoid an international ban by Monday after a turbulent week in the country.
According to Ghanasoccernet.com sources within Fifa say the letters arrived on Friday night as the world governing body’s Sunday deadline looms.
Fifa warned Ghana this week that continued intervention in the admin of football will have "adverse consequences" after the GFA's office was raided this week.
The sports minister Akua Sena Dansua is racing against time to avoid an international ban and wrote to Fifa to insist that they are not interfering the sport.
She assured Fifa that the government is keen on developing football in the country and will not do anything to undermine that.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has also gone into an overdrive to help avoid the ban by writing to Fifa that things have returned to normal.
The GFA also told Fifa that its offices, which were closed as a result of the raid carried out by an anti-fraud unit, will be opened on Monday.
But there’s still a sticking point as the ministry told Fifa that the GFA was being investigated for tax evasion and potential fraud.
It is not known how Fifa executives, who are in Abu Dhabi, would take that explanation from the ministry.
GFA suspended all organised soccer in the country on Wednesday after a turbulent week in which their headquarters were raided and FIFA warned of suspension for the World Cup quarter-finalists.
Plain-clothed officers from the country's Economic and Organised Crime Unit (EOCU) raided the GFA headquarters on Tuesday and removed nine computers and took the mobile phones of some staff.
The GFA said this had brought it to an administrative standstill and prompted world soccer's governing body FIFA to warn government authorities to stop interfering.
FIFA, which briefly suspended Nigeria over political interference in the sport in October, has referred the matter to its emergency committee, which has the power to impose a suspension, if the situation does not change by Sunday.
