  • Former Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi has advised the current administration to travel with their own chefs
  • Nyantakyi revealed he did that during his time as president to avoid any surprises at the tournament
  • Kwesi Nyantakyi was dethroned as president of the association over allegations of bribery and corruption

Former President of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi has come out of 'exile' to advise the current administration on what to do heading to AFCON 2021.

According to the disgraced ex-CAF Vice President, the Ghana Football Association needs to travel with it's own chefs and cleaners.

In an interview with Onua TV, Mr. Nyantakyi explained there are so many tricks at the Africa Cup of Nations and to avoid falling into any of these traps, a team must be well prepared.

“I have been at the Africa Cup of Nations [AFCON] several times with the Black Stars and there are tricks that we must take into consideration,” he told Accra based Onua TV.
“Some of the North African countries come to the tournament with their own cook, cleaners among others and when I was in office, we also do the same because Africa is full of surprises.
“This is because nobody wants to be a victim and I think with the Black Stars heading to the AFCON in Cameroon, all this must be taken into consideration."

Kwasi Nyantakyi's time as GFA president came to a scandalous end after investigative journalist Anas Armeyaw Anas showed a documentary which captured him taking bribes.

The former CAF vice-president was then banned from football by FIFA for breaking the code of ethics.
