Former Ghana striker Tony Yeboah will captain the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), legends in Sunday’s ‘Battle of the Stars’ game against a Western/Central select side at the Nduom Stadium in Elmina.



The ‘Battle of the Stars’ game is one of the grand schemes under ‘The Visit Ghana, #Bringbackthelove football tour’, an initiative of the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA), the GFA and the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG), with support from GTV Sports+, that seek to promote domestic and international tourism through football.

Other stars to feature include, former Bayern Munich and Ghana defender, Samuel Osei Kufuor, two-time World Cup hero, Richard Kingston and UEFA Champions League winner, Ibrahim Tanko.



The rest are, former Ghana and Juventus star, Stephen Appiah, former Getafe and Ghana midfielder Derick Boateng, Yaw Preko, Abukari Damba, Felix Aboagye, Godwin Attram, Laryea Kingston, Odartey Lamptey and Peter Ofori Quaye.

Others include, former Ghana right back John Paintsil, Godwin Ablordey, Jerry Akaminko, Thomas Duah, Afo Dodoo, Ablade Kumah, Yaw Acheampong, Godfred Aduobi and Razak Ibrahim.

Former Black Queens captain, Adwoa Bayor, Ex midfielder Doreen Awuah and 1999 FIFA Women’s World Cup hero, Memunatu Suleymana will also play on Sunday.

Former Accra Great Olympics and Okwahu United trainer, J. E. Sarpong will be the Coach of the side.

The GFA would use the game as prelude to the 2020/2021 football season by setting in motion all match day COVID-19 protocols as set out by the GFA/CAF and FIFA. The Ghana Premier League will kick off on the weekend of November 14-15, 2020.

The Professional Footballers Association (PFAG) of Ghana would like to appeal to the general public and fans of Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko to stay away from rowdy behaviour when the two teams clash at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.



Hooliganism and thuggery have no place in football and acts of violence perpetrated by individuals cannot be tolerated.

As much as the PFAG believes both clubs would not endorse any such thing, we back the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to reinforce security at the stadium and various centres in the remaining matches of the league.

We wish to assure Ghanaian football fans that football has zero-tolerance for violence, hence any fan, official or club that is found to have breached the GFA Regulations and GFA Disciplinary Code must be dealt with.

PFAG also wishes to advise supporters and administrators, in general, to be wary of verbal and physical attacks on footballers, the main actors of our game. Insults and other forms of abuse against footballers sometimes lead to such players being abused later.

The FA, administrators, fans and the general public should help protect our footballers from such things.

Again, we would like to remind the general public that the name of the game is fair play and tolerance and not brutality and intolerance.
