The Ghana Football Association on Monday apologised to Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko, their supporters and the general public for the eleventh-hour cancellation of Sunday's Champion of Champions match.
A statement signed by Mr Kofi Nsiah, General ecretary, said the match was cancelled on advice of the National Security Council.
"In fact, all the necessary arrangements were made to ensure a successful match, which is our prime duty to Ghanaians. However, the National Security Council decided that the match be postponed."
"The issue of security transcends all other considerations and every effort would be made so that we have incident-free football matches.
"We share with you your emotions and passions associated with the game of football, pray that you will all put the disappointment of March 3, 2002 behind you, and unite for football to be the winner."
The statement said a new date and venue would be announced later.
