Many of the Black Stars players have to catch flights back to their clubs as soon as possible in order not to invite sanctions for late return. And, according to Joy Sports Benedict Owusu, who is with the team, that’s why the option of military transport was explored to prevent what happened a few years go from repeating itself. This followed the government’s decision to suddenly renege on footing the bill to transport the team back to Accra. The Black Stars will hope to beat São Tomé and go top of Group C, after South Africa beat Sudan 1-0 earlier on Sunday.
