The coach of the Ghana U20 team, Desmond Ofei, was reportedly asked to leave a VIM youth tournament organized by a scout based in Austria, as reported by journalist Muftawu Nabila Abdulai.
The tournament, which featured teams such as Accra Lions, Right To Dream, and several youth teams from Ivory Coast, took place at the Accra Lions facility in Abokobi.
Several prominent figures in Ghanaian football circles, including Ibrahim Tanko, Laryea Kingston, and Paa Kwesi Fabin, were in attendance at the tournament to observe and potentially scout young talents.
However, tensions arose when Ofei arrived at the venue on Sunday and was promptly asked to leave after only a few minutes of watching the games.
The reasons behind the organizers’ decision to eject Offei remain unclear, adding a sense of ambiguity to the situation.
Nevertheless, Ofei left the venue with Ibrahim Tanko and Paa Kwesi Fabin, who reportedly showed their support by leaving with him.
Tanko further assisted Ofei by driving him away from the venue in his car, highlighting the gesture of solidarity.
