Ghana-Botswana friendly scrapped after backlash

The anticipated pre-AFCON friendly between Ghana and Botswana has been canceled following public disapproval.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) had initially confirmed a Johannesburg camp and a friendly match against Botswana, which faced backlash from fervent football enthusiasts in the country.

Responding to public sentiment, the Sports Ministry, in collaboration with the Ghana Football Association, has altered course and is now considering a training camp in Kumasi.

Additionally, Ghana is set to play a friendly game with Namibia as part of its preparations for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
