The Ghana Football Association has threatened to institute legal actions against persons defaming the Association, its officials, and the black star brand.
This follows the exit of the senior national team, the Black Stars from the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Qatar 2022.
“The Ghana Football Association has therefore instructed its lawyers to institute legal action against persons who defame the Association, its officials, and products and destroy the Black Stars brand as well as the media platforms used to do same.
“The legal forum will provide the opportunity for these persons to bring any evidence to substantiate their allegations.”
However, in a statement issued by the Association, it noted that it’s open to comments, suggestions, and ideas from ‘well-meaning Ghanaians both at home and abroad for the improvement of the team.’
“While the Association will continue to encourage feedback and opinions (devoid of insults, personal attacks, and brand devaluation), the protection of the brands from deliberate lies, misinformation, and defamatory comments must be curbed, as the Black Stars remains a global brand that unites all Ghanaians,” it added.
The Association, therefore, apologised to the general public and stakeholders for the unexpected exit of the team from the World Cup and indicated that “we will continue with the positive lessons going into the future.”
