They (FA) accepted and minuted on the letter and it will be sent to the Regional Football Association of the Brong Ahafo and so we should check there and make sure we take the letter to the barracks to the commander of the Brong Ahafo to able to release the military for us. When we went, surprisingly, the regional football association chairman the region unfortunately told us that, he doesn’t see the need to provide military assistance in that game since the game isn’t a high profile one and so he is not in the position to minute on the letter” he revealed to Barak Mintah Brown of Beach 105.5FM in Takoradi.
