The title holders have been forced to neglect its foreign-based members due to problems in the acquisition of funds. Ghana have named an all locally-based side for the 2015 All Africa Games to be held in Congo Brazzaville. This was revealed after coach Malik Jabir named a 20-man squad for the competition which runs from September 4 to 19. According to Goal�s sources, the exclusion of foreign-based players is a result of the Ministry of Sports� inability to release funds for traveling arrangements of players involved. The 20-man team includes six players who represented Ghana at the 2013 Fifa Under-20 World Cup in Turkey comprising Richard Ofori, Eric Ofori-Antwi, Baba Mensah, Lawrence Lartey, Jeremiah Akorful and Kennedy Ashia, while BA United�s Patrick Asmah and WAFA�s Samuel Tetteh both played at the 2015 Fifa Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand. The Black Meteors are set to compete in Group B alongside Senegal, Nigeria and Egypt. Ghana, then led by deputy Black Stars coach Maxwell Konadu, are the defending champions of the competition following a 4-2 penalty triumph over South Africa after a 1-1 stalemate after extra time at the 2011 edition in Mozambique.
