The Black Stars’ decision to set up camp in Johannesburg has been made official by Henry Asante Twum, the head of communication for the Ghana Football Association.
Black Stars camp in Johannesburg beginning on December 31, 2023.
Henry Asante Twum stated that Coach Chris Hughton made the choice for Johannesburg to hold camp prior to their 2023 AFCON trip to the Ivory Coast.
“It’s interesting how this discussion is going. All of a sudden, nobody is thinking about the influence of coaches in these kinds of situations.”
” I want to put on record that the decision to camp in South Africa is the sole decision of the coach. He made a proposal to the FA, and we approved it through the Youth and Sports Ministry. The decision to camp in South Africa wasn’t taken by Kurt Okraku but the head coach of the team.”
We have provided the needed support to the technical team since they took office and have always allowed them to work independently, so all the FA did was to grant them approval when they presented their proposal/plan to leadership.” he added.
