WORLD CUP: Why We Are Yet To Release Squad List- Ghana | READ DETAILS

Ahead of the brewing pitched battle for the coveted Qatar World Cup ticket between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Ghana’s Black Stars billed for March 25, mixed reactions have trailed Ghana’s failure to release a squad list.

While their West African archrivals, Nigeria released her list on March 4, twelve days away, Ghana is yet to even allude to the crucial list.

Amid series of prolonged seesaw struggles over the venue for the encounter, fans from both nations have insisted the delay is ploy to edge out their counterparts, Super Eagles.

Speaking in affirmation, the Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association, Henry Asante Twum, has revealed the resolve to hold on to the squad list is indeed strategic.

In a interview with Ghanaian Times, a government-owned daily newspaper in Accra, the communications expert said;

“It is a technical decision backed by management, and it is a well-thought-out purely strategic move,
They felt it’s a way of controlling or minimizing the abuse that normally takes place before games, especially on social media. Sometimes, the public abuse gets to the players and affects their mentality.
I know the players and their clubs have been informed and the coaches are in talks with the individual players as we speak. Coaches can choose not to go public at all and it’s within their right to do so.”

Meanwhile, the encounter is barely eight days away at Ghana’s largest multipurpose venue, the Baba Yara stadium and the reverse fixture is slated for the Moshood Abiola National Stadium, Abuja four days later.
