Africa-Press – Ghana. Alex Ababio, the CEO of Bofoakwa Tano, has revealed that his team may not make the journey to Sogakope for their FA Cup semifinal clash against Dreams FC.
Speaking exclusively to Akoma FM, Ababio emphasised that Bofoakwa Tano expects the organising committee to cover their travel and lodging expenses for the match. If these expenses are not covered, the team will not participate in the fixture.
”The FA Cup committee must fund our cost while traveling if they truly want us to honour our FA Cup match against Dreams FC in Sogakope. If not, there is no way we will be able to secure funding and make the trip from Sunyani to Sogakope,” he said.
Ababio disagrees with the committee’s choice to hold the match at Sogakope because he believes Dreams FC will gain more from the arrangement than Bofoakwa Tano.
”I won’t be shocked if what transpired at Sunyani in the Premier League happens again. Everyone witnessed what happened during our match against Dreams FC and it’s the same team we are meeting. We ought to have been able to play the game at a location that benefits both teams, not just one.”
Although Alex Ababio praised the committee for their assistance during the competition, he feels that it is still insufficient.
”What matters is that, if they are willing to pay our bills, we can proceed, if not, I’m not sure we can honour the match. Even though they offer some financial assistance, it is still insufficient,” he concluded.
Bofoakwa are teetering just one point above relegation in the Ghana Premier League, currently positioned in 15th place. Their upcoming league fixture will see them away to Samarboi, facing the league leaders, Samartex.
