The Ghana Football Association has denied reports that the Finance Ministry spent $800,000 to fund for Black Stars September friendlies in September.
The Black Stars engaged in two friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua during the international break.
Ghana lost 3-0 to the South American giants before recovering to beat Nicaragua 1-0.
Ghanaian Journalist, Collins Atta Poku earlier reported that the Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta used taxpayers money of $800,000 to fund for the September friendlies is false.
The Ghana FA has released a further statement to deny the claims.
“The attention of our lawyers has been drawn to a Tweet from Collins Atta Poku on the release of $800,000 to the Ghana Football Association for our recent international friendlies against Brazil and Nicaragua,” a Ghana FA statement read.
“The news is not only FALSE but a calculated lie to pitch the public against the Ghana Football Association, drag our name in the mud and defame the Association.
“We would like to state categorically, that Bank of Ghana has not transferred any amount in relation to our friendly matches against Brazil and Nicaragua to the account of the Ghana Football Association.
“We would like the public to disregard that frivolous reportage.”
