The Ghana Football Association would like to call on the supporters groups and all Ghanaians who are in Cote D’Ivoire to cheer the Black Stars to put up the best of behaviour within the laws of the game.
The Ghana Football Association will liaise with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, under whose authority the supporters travelled to the tournament, and the leadership of the supporters groups to avoid any future occurrence.
