Jerry Afriyie quits Satellites camp to join club in Spain
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed the departure of Jerry Afriyie from the camp of the Black Satellites to return to his club base in Spain.
This development is in line with a prior arrangement between the GFA and the player’s club, which had indicated that they would require his return following Ghana’s first two matches in the ongoing tournament.
The Association had to rely on such an arrangement because the tournament was being played outside the FIFA window for release of players.
Jerry Afriyie made a significant contribution to the team during our opening fixtures, playing a key role in securing valuable points that have positioned the Black Satellites strongly in the quest for qualification.
While the technical team and management would have preferred to retain his services for the entirety of the competition, the GFA remains committed to honouring all arrangements with clubs in the spirit of mutual respect, cooperation and professionalism.
“We are confident that the remaining members of the squad will build on the foundation laid in the first two matches and continue to push toward our collective objective of success in the tournament,” an FA statement said.
”The GFA takes this opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation to Jerry Afriyie for his dedication and service during his time with the national team, and we wish him continued success at his club,” it added.
The statement also thanked Ghanaians at home and abroad for the unwavering support shown to the Black Satellites and urged all to continue rallying behind the team as we pursue continental glory
