The head coach of the Black Stars, Mr Fred Osam-Duodu, has requested all players of the team to report to camp at the National Sports College at Winneba in the Central Region by lunch time on Monday 29 October 2001.

The team broke up last week to enable the players to honour their various league assignments at the various stadia across the country recently.

However, the stars could not re-assemble this week in view of the one-sixteenth F.A. Cup matches, which were played on Wednesday 24 October 2001.

This development further frustrated the already late preparations of the Black Stars towards the African Nations Cup in Mali next year.

Lined up for the team to keep them in shape for the biennial championship are a series of trials scheduled to begin on 19 December 2001 against Mexico. Daily Graphic
