Twenty-one stranded Ghanaian players in Ethiopia as a result of the closure of the Ghanaian borders by the government are set to arrive in the country on Friday 17 July.
The Ghanaian borders have been closed by the government since March this year as part of measures to curb the importation of the coronavirus into the country.
The players who ply their trade in the Eastern African country sent a plea to the government to be airlifted back home as they had been stranded in Addis Ababa for several weeks hoping for the Ghanaian borders to be opened so they could come home to their families.
Lateef Mohammed, one of the stranded footballers in an interview confirmed they will be arriving in the country on Friday.
“We will be coming home on Friday. Some of us have paid monies between $200- $500", he told Happy FM.
“We have been told we will be picked by bus at Lome and then sent to Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence to be quarantined”
The 21 players will emplane from Ethiopia to Lome, Togo and be transported by bus from Lome to Accra where they will be quarantined at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence, Prampram.
