FIFAWORLDCUP - FIFA World
Cup™ finalists Ghana have cancelled a friendly in Iran at the end of the
month because they do not have a full-strength squad available, the
country's football association announced on Friday.
Ghana said they were unable to call up the majority of their
first-choice squad members, who are based in Europe, because the 29
March date did not coincide with FIFA's international calendar, when
clubs are forced to release players for international duty.
The football association said Ghana had confirmed a friendly against
Korea Republic in Glasgow, Scotland on 4 June prior to their arrival in
Germany for the FIFA World Cup.
Ghana are drawn in Group E, with the Czech Republic, Italy and the
United States, for the month-long tournament which begins on 9 June.
