Organizers deny $21,000 debt to FA

Organizers of Monday's international friendly between the Black Stars and Jamaica's Reggae Boyz have denied owing the Football Association $21,000.

Frank Yao, a director of D-Vision Network, organizers of the game says the agreement between them and the Ghana Football Association does not entitle the FA to any proceeds from the gates.

The Ghana Football Association had reportedly demanded a sum of $21,000 dollars from the organizers of the Black Stars last international friendly against the Reggae boyz of Jamaica on Monday.

The GFA is said to have made the demands after they realized the huge numbers that thronged the Walker?s stadium in Leicester to watch the match.
