Black Satellites Call Off Spain Trip

The Black Satellites have cancelled their proposed trip to Barcelona, Spain to camp ahead of this year’s Africa U-20 Championship due to CAF’s decision to withdraw Libya as hosts of the continental competition.

CAF took the decision because of the political unrest in the North African country and is set to announce a new host for the tournament by close of week.

The African football governing body is also expected to postpone the tournament date to give the yet-to-be-named host adequate time to organize the competition.

As a result, the Black Satellites have been forced to change the date and venue for their pre-tournament camping.

The Chairman of the Black Satellites Management Committee, Mr George Anagblah, says the current situation has affected Ghana’s preparations for the competition. He said the decision as to where to camp for the pre-tournament preparations will be made as soon as the host nation is announced.
