The Ministry of Youth and Sports has promised to facilitate the trip of a conglomerate of supporters unions, Alliance of Ghana Supporters, to India to rally behind the national U-17 team during the FIFA U-17 World Cup.

According to the Sports Minister, Mr Isaac Kwame Asiamah, he had earlier assured the various supporters unions of his outfit's support if they were able to unite under one umbrella body, a requirement they fulfilled for the first time during the final of 2017 WAFU Cup last Saturday.

Black Stars coach, Kwasi Appiah, has axed Andre Ayew and his younger brother Jordan from his 24-man squad for Ghana’s next FIFA World Cup qualifying game against Uganda on October 7.

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah, has stated that the ministry is still consulting with stakeholders to decide whether to bid for the 2018 CHAN tournament after CAF stripped Kenya of the hosting rights last Saturday.

The signing of Andre on a free transfer from Marseille in June 2015 was widely regarded as a superb piece of transfer business by the Swans.

The Minister of Youth and Sports, Isaac Kwame Asiamah has charged the newly-inaugurated Board of directors of the National Sports Authority (NSA) to work assiduously to protect the state's investment in public infrastructure in sports.

Accra Hearts of Oak will be out to end a six-year wait for the MTN FA Cup since its re-introduction in 2011 when they clash with Wa All Stars in a dicey semi-final encounter at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Sunday.

Nigerian giants Enyimba have dismissed reports that they are interested in signing Ghana deputy coach Maxwell Konadu after he led the Black Stars B to the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations title.

The reports suggested that, the Nigeria Professional Football League side were courting Konadu after he masterminded a 4-1 victory over Nigeria in the WAFU final on Sunday.

The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi, has described as immeasureable, the exemplary contribution of the late Sly Tetteh to the development of football across the continent which is worth emulating.
