Football International try out in Rotterdam Holland Ghana 31 05 2014 Kevin Prince Boateng Ghana emotional PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxSUIxAUTxNEDxITA<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Kevin-Prince Boateng says he was thrown out from Black Stars camp for criticizing officials of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over poor treatment during the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.<\/p>\n

The former AC Milan together with Sulley Muntari were sacked from the team\u2019s camp after being involved in a heated exchange with some management committee members a day before the team\u2019s final group game against Portugal.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Vibe with Five, the former Ghana international revealed that, he criticized the Ghana Football Association for treating them below what they deserved and asked them to \u2018invest\u2019 in the Association, something that didn\u2019t go too well with the management of the Ghana FA.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cI got kicked out from the national team and Schalke in the same season,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Asked about why he was kicked out of Ghana\u2019s team, the retired player answered, \u201cWe had a meeting and I criticised them and I said \u2018they can\u2019t treat us like that\u2019 because we know how much they make and they should invest in the organisation [and] give the players the money they deserved.\u2019<\/p>\n

\u201cThey didn\u2019t like that and they kicked me out\u2026The day we played Portugal, 6 in the morning, they put a letter under my door\u2026I took the letter and it said \u2018you are out of the national team.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added that, the letter requested he \u2018leave the team hotel in 15 minutes\u2019 and handed over his cards.<\/p>\n

Boateng said even though he fought for the team, \u2018no one\u2019 from the playing body spoke up as he and Muntari did.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo one [spoke]. I wasn\u2019t fighting for myself. I was fighting for the team. I saw them while going out with my luggage and it was the worst moment,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

\u201cI said to [Muntari] the real team will say \u2018we are all not playing.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ghana went on to lose the game 2-1 and exited the competition in the group stage with just one point.<\/p>\n
