The Somali national team has accused the host country, Ghana, of intimidation after security personnel reportedly interrupted its second training session at the University of Ghana Stadium.

The Somalis, according to sources, sought permission to use the stadium to prepare for their 2027 AFCON qualifiers against Ghana on Thursday, November 12, 2026.

They were then interrupted by security personnel of the campus to vacate the facility, forcing them to train outside the stadium.

Mr Prosper Harrison Addo Esq., General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, disclosed that the whole debacle was simply a matter of miscommunication.

According to Mr Addo, the Somalis were supposed to train at the athletic oval pitch instead of the main stadium because that was where authorities of the university permitted.

The Somalis had been training on the oval pitch for two days before Tuesday.

Mr Addo further added that he and the leadership of the Somali team were taken aback by the commentary of social media when footages of the security personnel asking them to leave the stadium went viral.
