Akwesi Appiah is Ghana Under-23 coach
Ghana’s Under-23 team have complained about poor facilities in Benin City, Nigeria, ahead of the All Africa Games final qualifying round first leg tie on Saturday, GHANAsoccernet.com understands.
The Black Meteors arrived on Thursday morning and checked in at the Isno Hotel.
The team had to abandon an evening warm-up exercise because of the poor state of the training pitch.
“It’s like a school park and a dumping site with people also defecating somewhere. We are all shocked and at to shake down at the hotel,” an exasperated player told GHANAsoccernet.com
The Meteors will train at the Samuel Ogbemudia Stadium Stadium, venue for the cagey qualifier.
The food served at the hotel for supper was inadequate for the 28-man contingent and some had to eat their rice without chicken.
The winner of the two-legged will qualify for the Games in Maputo, Mozambique in September this year.
