Messi to visit Ghana..

*…As Black Stars secure Argentina friendly in June**

World football super star Lionel Messi may be one of the top players the Argentina national team would parade at the Accra Sports Stadium when they face the Black Stars in June this year. According to Owuahene Acheampong, a top GFA executive in an exclusive interview with yours truly, every negotiation have been made and completed, awaiting for the match day and the referee to blow his whistle for the game to start.

Another friend of Ghana Football, a pastor, Rev. Dr. Lawrence Tetteh also confirmed the top friendly line-up and said much would depend on the Ghana versus England match at Wembley Stadium on March 29, which’s result could determine if the Argentines would bring to Ghana all their best players, especially those who starred at the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa.

According to Rev. Dr. Tetteh, Ghana's image has soared and the Black Stars have become attractive compelling the top nations to accept invitations to play. As a friend to most of Ghana's international players, the international evangelist said the election of Kwesi Nyantakyi to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has added pedigree to the nation's stature and it is now up to Ghanaian fans to comport themselves as they support and cheer the players to victory.

He urged the Ghana Football Association and National Sports Council (NSC) to put up more facilities for play as these fields can also serve as tourism attractions. Rev. Tetteh who also spoke in an interview on the popular TV talk show *ON THE BALL*, said now most players are spiritual and they know the way to church, which is a departure from the past when clubs and players resorted to "juju" or "mallams".
