Ghana could be stripped of the hosting rights for the African Women Cup of Nation as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) calls a crisis meeting with Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah.
This is even as CAF reportedly instructed South Africa, Nigeria and Cameroon to be on the alert should Ghana be eventually stripped of the right.
Asiamah will travel to Madagascar next week to meet with the President of CAF, Ahmad Ahmad, to discuss the report and the likely options, which includes taking away the right from Ghana.
Ghana are preparing to the host the next edition of the championship which has been slated for November this year but there is little to show on the ground that the country is ready.
“I have a meeting with Ghana’s Minister for Youth and Sports next week in Madagascar,” Ahmad said.
“He is coming to see me and we will discuss this issue and also the Ghana Football Association (GFA).”
According to widespread reports in Ghana, which was obtained by DAILY INDEPENDENT, CAF has instructed Nigeria, South Africa and Cameroon to prepare as they monitor proceedings from Ghana as the next AWCON host.
The Black Queens have been impressive in recent African Women’s Championships placing third in the last edition in Cameroon.
