A statement signed by the Minister of Sports, Mustapha Ussif said the meeting is to “urgently discuss and make decisions aimed at salvaging the performance” of the team.

The Sports Ministry expressed unhappiness with Ghana’s performance at the tournament, highlighting that the team was logistically and financially equipped ahead of the competition, which included a pre-tournament camp in Doha, Qatar.
