Ghana Fans Fly Saturday. For Ghana/Nigeria Friendly
Starting Saturday through to Monday, football
fans, media personnel and Ghana Football
Association (GFA) officials will be airlifted to
England for the Ghana/Nigeria international
friendly by travel and tour giants, African
Origin.

According to the CEO of African Origin Samson
Deen, the first batch will leave on Saturday, the
second on Sunday and the final group on Monday via
Lufthansa and Air Brussels.

He admonished fans to prepare adequately for the
trip by checking weather forecasts, and taking
along the appropriate clothing.

Mr Deen said those who will fly out on Saturday,
including GFA officials, will have the opportunity
to watch the Community Shield match between
Manchester City and Manchester United at the new
Wembley Stadium in London.

DAILY GUIDE SPORTS will give live reports of the
match via the paper's website,
www.dailyguideghana.com ../ as well as mtnmobile
newspaper.

'After the Ghana match, fans will also have the
opportunity to watch the England/Holland match on
Wednesday as part of the package of African
Origin,' the CEO disclosed.

A few weeks ago, match organizers JV2i Consult
named African Origin as the official travel agency
for the Ghana-Nigeria match.

As a result, a travel package was put together by
the travel and tour giants to enable many football
loving fans of the Black Stars to travel to the UK
to cheer the team to victory at the Vicarage Road
Stadium, Watford, venue for the encounter.

The CEO of JV2i Consults, Justine Addo, was
emphatic on why African Origin was chosen out of
the travel agents who showed interest in the
partnership, saying, 'It is with pride that I say
here that African Origin Travels And Sports
Tourism have been appointed as the official travel
partner in charge of all the 1,000 tickets for
people in Ghana.'

The match is expected to attract a high patronage
needed to fill the over 17,000-seating capacity
stadium.
