Only two Ghana teams now in CAF competitions

CAF blow for Ghana

Posted: 2010-07-19 22:26

Ghana has had its representation in the CAF club competitions cut in half.

This was announced by the Ghanaian Football Association (GFA) on Monday in the wake of the African Football Confederation’s (CAF) decision to act on the West African nation’s poor performances in the Champions League and Confederation Cup, as well as continued snubbing of the competitions.

Asante Kotoko were the last Ghanaian team to manage any sort of success, reaching the Champions League quarterfinals in 2006, and reaching the same stage in the 2008 Confederation Cup.

2009 League champions Hearts of Oak also pulled out of this year’s top-tier competition, following a trend from years gone by.

The result is that Ghana will have only two representatives in African club football next year – Aduana in the Champions league, and AshantiGold in the Confederation Cup.

I HAVE ALWAYS SAID THIS PEOPLE CALLED GHANIANS ARE NOT GOOD PEOPLE AND ARE VERY ANTI-AFRICA.I THOUGHT THEIR HATRED WAS AGAINST NIGERIA ALONE BUT IT'S MORE THAN THAT.THE REASON WHY GHANA WILL NEVER BE SEEN AS A LEADER IN AFRICA AND NIGERIA WITH ALL IT'S WAHALA WILL ALWAYS BE MORE REGARDED THAN GHANA IS BECAUSE IF GHANA BECOMES A SUPER POWER IN AFRICA MANY PEOPLE WILL SUFFER eish!!!GHANA GETS TO THE QUATER FINAL OF THE WORLD CUP SUDDENLY ALL COMPETITIONS IN AFRICA HAVE BECOME USELESS...stupid senseless people.

@holysaint:'we have a future than every african country'.That is my point exactly,you are so clueless about the real happenings in the world.Ghana is and will never be seriously regarded because of Africa knows the negative mindset of Ghana.Have you ever wondered why countries with even worse reputation than Ghana are still given more regard than your so-called Ghana?You guys stink,I am hoping you guys do something to provoke the Nigerian people so they can go to war with ghana and atleast wipe out the entire population of Khumasi...U better be warned that day might come sooner than you think...sies!!!
