Ghana's Youth and Sports Minister Nii Lantey Vanderpauye has asked the Black Stars team and officials train in Equatorial Guinea ahead of their participation at next year's Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
Recent reports suggested officials of the team had opted to be in Dubai for two weeks but our sources reveal the outgoing Sports Minister insists they travel to Equatorial Guinea.
Although coach Avram Grant is yet to name his squad, the team will begin a non-residential camping here in Accra on December 28 before leaving for the yet to be confirmed destination for the pre-tournament camping on January 2.
The Black Stars will be hoping to end the country's 34-year wait for an African title after narrowly missing out the title to Ivory Coast at the last edition of the tournament in Equatorial Guinea. Ghana is in Group D with Mali, Egypt and Uganda.

As for this, Nii Lantey has made the right decision. What is the team going to do in Dubai whereas the climate, pitches, hotels and everything in Equatorial Guinea (they just hosted the AFCON) can help in their preparations? We spend so much on these players and they do nothing. Some of the players even feel entitled to their selection to the team. It is only Ghana that this can go on.
Mr. Minister, This is not what is required of you. whats important is that, vomit the money you have chop and pay the Black Queens.PERIOD. GREEDY BASTA**
what is wrong with this man? when plans have been laid long time ago, why change it now? what stopped him from communicating it to them long time ago? is this man serious at all? yet sports journalists have been singing him praises. he is the worst minister ever at the ministry.
eeeeish now economy be k3k3!Socket
NII LANTEY, YOU MESSED UP THE TEAMS'S CHANCE TO GO TO RUSSIA AND NOW YOU ARE SET TO MESS UP THIS LAST HOPE OF OURS. DO NOT DESTROY EVERYTHING BEFORE YOU GO. IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS YOU WILL HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH THE BLACK STARS. JUST ***barred word*** AND LEAVE. WHEN ALL THE MONIES THAT YOU HAVE LOOTED IS RECOVERED, THE BLACK STARS CAN EVEN CAMP IN THE SPACE.
