The Ghana Football Association says its ready to pay whatever fine is laid on Ghana for captain Asamoah Gyan’s breach of Fifa regulations by wearing a customised captain’s armband.
Vice President George Afriyie, speaking to Happy Fm in Accra, said the incident is not a ‘big issue’ – and the FA are ready to pay to make it simply go away.
“I don’t think this is an issue worth debating. If FIFA decides to fine us we are ready to pay.” he said.
“All we can be required to pay will be $1000 – $2,500 and I don’t think this is a big issue,”
Afriyie, though, acknowledged that the FA were not even aware of Gyan’s decision to wear that armband, and said the decision should be condemned.
“We were not aware of the customised armband. It is not the right thing to be done and unacceptable from Asamoah Gyan,” he said.
“Nobody has the right to tell anyone to customise a national team armband for him. We have to condemn what happened,” he added.
