2023 Africa Cup of Nations: CAF to impose fine on Ghana FA after unprofessional act from Ghanaian journalists
President of the Ghana Football Association Kurt Okraku has condemned the act of booing players at a tournament following the 'unfortunate' incident at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.
Some Ghanaian journalists were captured on video raining insults on then coach Chris Hughton, players and other members of the Black Stars team after playing out a 2-2 draw against Mozambique, which derailed the team’s chances of progressing to the knockout stage.
“I share the pain of every Ghanaian on the back of our poor performance of our Black Stars at the AFCON. I also share in the pain of colleague journalists that their lifespan was cut short due to our early exit,” stated Kurt Okraku at the Meet the Press in Kumasi.
“But I do not share in the act of booing our players. As Journalists we have been trained to support and report on our national team, I pray and hope that this singular act will never be repeated.
“That act has now activated CAF in finding ways of imposing fines on Ghana. It was a bad one!! And like I said here the period between our exit and now has seen a lot of sober reflection. If we behave well, we know! If we don’t behave better we know!! Don’t let us put Ghana in a bad light.”
