Austria Offers Ghana Free Camping Base

Ghana?s Black Stars have been offered free camping facilities by Austrian Football authorities ahead of the World Cup. The proposal, which is under consideration by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) if accepted, would see the Black Stars preparing in Austria before June?s World Cup finals in Germany.

Fred Pappoe, the vice president of the Ghana Football Association together with Black Stars assistant coach, Silas Tetteh are expected to leave Accra this week to inspect the facility.

Austria, which shares the same border with Germany have similar climatic conditions with the World Cup hosts.

The Ghana Football Association had earlier on selected the Portuguese city of Faro as the camping base for the Black Stars. But with the Austrian proposal on the table, Ghana might opt out of the Portugal arrangement.
