As the Ministry of Youth and sports in collaboration with the Foreign ministry have been financing Ghanaian supporting groups to previous tournaments to support the various national teams, the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon seems otherwise.
Barely two days to kick off the tournament, the Ministry of Youth and sports have taken a firm stance not to fund anyone’s trip to support the Black Stars in Cameroon amid the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
A release from the PR department of the ministry reads:
PRESS RELEASECOMMENCEMENT OF 2022 AFCON TOURNAMENT
“The ministry of youth and sports wishes to announce the commencement of the 33rd edition of the TotalEnergies Africa cup of nations tournament (Cameroon 2022) scheduled to begin on 9th January 2022 in Cameroon.
The Senior national team, the Black Stars will be seeking their fifth title in the history of the tournament and Ghanaians are entreated to throw their support behind them.
Due to the outbreak of the covid-19 pandemic, the ministry is constrained in sending supporters to the tournament.
However, African origin travel and tours have been authorized to facilitate travel for a limited number of Ghanaians who may seek to attend the games on their own.
Contact number: 0277316941/0244247233
We wish the Black Stars all the best in the tournament.
Signed
Kenneth Annang
Public Relations Officer
