Ghana’s tie against the Leone Stars of Sierra Leone is on the verge of being called off after FIFA slapped the Sierra Leone FA with a suspension over government interference

In September, the country’s Anti Corruption Commission (ACC) forced president Isha Johansen and secretary-general Chris Kamara to step down from their offices as both are under investigation on counts of 'abuse of office and misuse of public funds.

However, FIFA who frowns on government interference in the affairs of football has suspended the Sierra Leonean FA from all football activities.

This means that Ghana’s 2019 African Nations Cup (AFCON) qualifying game against Sierra Leone at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium next week Thursday is in severe doubt of coming off.
