Special aid to the Ministry of Youth and Sports, Kofi Asare Brako has debunked media reports that the Ministry wants to cancel Hearts of Oak's friendly clash against Asante Kotoko in London.

The two most glamorous clubs in Ghana are expected to entertain football fans when they lock horns in an Independence anniversary match at the famous Barnet Stadium at exactly 6:00 pm on March 7, 2020, in London.

The match is being organized by Proball International Limited, a football organization agency in the country.

But, according to reports in the local media, the Sports Ministry does not want the match to go ahead as planned in England.

Speaking to the Kumasi based Fox FM, the astute Sports Journalist said that the Ministry has no intentions of stopping the game, however, the organizers did not do the right thing by contacting the sector minister.

"It's not like that at all, it's not true that the Minister of Youth and Sports Hon. Isaac Kwame Asiamah wants to cancel the Hearts vs Kotoko match in London," he said.

"The thing is that the organizers did not do the right thing. They did not contact the sector minister nor serve him with any documents regarding the proposed match and the ministry is not happy about how it is being done, not that he wants it called off".
