Ghana call off friendly against Guinea

An international friendly between Ghana and Guinea billed to take place in Paris this coming Saturday has been called off, the Ghana Football Association have confirmed on their official website.


The Black Stars and the Syli National were hoping to use the friendly as preparation for their upcoming 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Mauritius and Swaziland respectively.

A statement on the Ghana FA’s website read, “Ghana’s international friendly against Guinea which was scheduled for Saturday, May 28 in Paris, France has been called off.

“This decision was taken after the Guinean Football Federation pulled out of the game to enable them resolve some internal problems.”

Guinea recently parted ways with coach Luis Fernandez.

The statement added, “The Ghana Football Association will announce further plans for the senior national team before their qualifying match to be played on June 5.”
