The Ghana Football Association has denied allegations that they receive large sums of money from government which are unaccounted for, and which they use to pay bribes to win Black Stars games.
In a strongly worded statement released Wednesday, the body said they receive no such figures and that the allegations tarnishes the hard work of the Stars in qualifying for the world cup.
A report by the Ghana Sports newspaper Monday indicated that sighted leaked documents pointed to the allocation of large sums to the FA which were unaccounted for, and which the paper suggested were being used to bribe Ghana’s opponents.
But the GFA has categorically denied the publication and hinted at the possibility of taking legal action over it.
Read the statement below…
The Ghana Football Association (GFA)’s attention has been drawn to a publication by the Ghana Sports Newspaper on Monday, 18th July, 2016, suggesting that Ghana bribed its way to secure qualification for the 2014 World Cup.
We wish to state emphatically state that the report is palpably false and that the GFA or the Government of Ghana does not have budgets for bribes or condone bribery in any form.
Such utterly wrong suggestion denigrates the hardwork and achievements of the Black Stars players culminating in the historic and indisputable 7-3 aggregate victory over Egypt that secured Ghana’s place at the World Cup.
The Black Stars players, technical team and management worked hard to secure Ghana’s place at the World Cup and as always we will continue to win our matches through fair means.
While urging the media to be responsible in their reportage, we will not hesitate to use the right legal channels available to us to seek redress over such false reports in future.
