Caf president Ahmad Ahmad has sent words of commiseration to the family of the deceased Ghanaian youth players who died in a crash on Saturday evening.
Six players of the Africa Vision Soccer Academy died on the spot when a bus, conveying the team from the town of Afrancho to Offin following a league registration exercise, veered into a river.
Many others have been left injured, with some currently receiving treatment at the Offinso St. Patrick Hospital and the Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital.
