Chief wants Black Stars to abandon SA plans
A local chief has asked the Ghana Football
Association to abandon a pre-Nations Cup camping
for the Black Stars abroad and train in his
traditional area.

Osie Adzatekpor VII, Paramount Chief of Avatime
Traditional Area in the Volta Region, says his
area has favourable conditions and facilities to
fortify a trophy winning squad.

Ghana plan in camp in South Africa before
departing for Gabon where they will based in
Franceville.

But the traditional ruler claims Goran Stevanovic
and his charges can get the needed preparations
back home.

“The Black Stars will have to here and taste the
weather that is up in the skies and have their
training sessions here,” he said.

“The military when they are going for battle,
they do hard training and in areas that are not
familiar to them.

“I also recommend that the footballers come here
and do hard training in an unfamiliar area.”

Ghana last won the continent’s coveted trophy in
1982 at the finals played in Libya.
