Why does cancelled Sierra Leone clash ruffle Kwesi Appiah and Ghana?

With the October matches against Sierra Leone called off, Goal examine the consequences for Ghana’s preparations ahead of next year’s Afcon

COMMENT

Considering this October date is the penultimate Fifa international break of the year, and with opportunities few and far between ahead of next year’s Africa Cup of Nations tournament, the cancelled qualifying double-header between Ghana and Sierra Leone is nothing but a pretty pass for the Black Stars.

On Tuesday night, Caf announced the annulment of the matches slated for Thursday and Monday after the Sierra Leonean government failed to meet a Fifa ultimatum to reinstate the ousted Isha Johansen-led administration of the football association.
