GFA Vice President And Chairman of the Black Stars Committee-George Afriyie Says GFA Was UNAWARE of Asamoah Gyan’s Captain ArmBand Customisation And It Should Be Condemned

Following Asamoah Gyan’s shocking captain armband customisation, many have tried to defend him–saying, it was done for him by Puma in an anticipated celebration of his 50th goal for the Black Stars.

But the Vice President of Ghana Football Association and Chairman of the Black Stars Committee-George Afriyie has reportedly told Happy Fm that, the GFA was not even aware of what Gyan did by customising his captain armband.

“We were not aware of the customised armband. It is not the right thing to be done and unacceptable from Asamoah Gyan,” Afriyie told Happy FM.

“Nobody has the right to tell anyone to customise a national team armband for him. We have to condemn what happened,” he added.

Apart from the fact that Gyan’s odd customisation seems to have been done without any official knowledge, it also breaches FIFA regulations (below) on captain armbands.
