Ghana-england Mini Tournament In The Offing

Representative of match organisers Mel Goldberg Law, Mel Goldberg has revealed exclusively to GHANAsoccernet.com plans to stage a mini tournament involving Ghana and England.

The planned tourney which is scheduled to take place in about a year’s time will have four teams (England and three African teams) of which Ghana is a confirmed participant and will take place in London.

“We are working on a possible match in London, a sort of African Nations Commonwealth match with four teams,” Mel Goldberg exclusively told GHANsoccernet.com.

“And because I like Ghana, I am choosing Ghana to play and we are getting England to play and maybe two other African nations and that may take place in about a year or so.”

The Black Stars in March clinched a memorable draw against the Three Lions at Wembley. The hugely successful and well patronized game immediately prompted reports of a possible rematch in Ghana.

This has laid a solid foundation for subsequent engagements of the two teams – a point Goldberg was quick to re-emphasize.

“It was a most successful match. I would say the best friendly match I’ve ever seen,” he said.

“It was the hottest ticking sell-outs ever, no friendly match has ever sold-out its tickets so quickly, the whole thing was sold-out in three days.

“The English crowd absolutely loved the way the Ghana played and behaved. Over 80,000 people and not one police problem. Infact the Ghanaian women danced with the English police in the streets afterwards.”
