Ghanaian football giants, Asante Kotoko, have reapplied for U.S. visas for several of their team members after their initial applications were unsuccessful. This comes as the club prepares for a much-anticipated friendly match against Major League Soccer (MLS) side D.C. United in Washington, D.C.
The team is now anxiously awaiting an update tomorrow, which will determine if the reapplication is successful. This match forms part of an international exchange initiative, showcasing African football talent to a global audience.
In response to the visa complications, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has proposed a contingency plan. They suggested forming a joint team for the trip, should Asante Kotoko’s visa issue persist. This joint team would be composed of players from other local clubs, ensuring that the match against D.C. United proceeds as planned, despite the logistical challenges.
Asante Kotoko remains hopeful that their players will secure their visas in time, as the game represents a significant opportunity for both exposure and strengthening international ties between Ghanaian football and the global football community. Fans and officials are eagerly awaiting tomorrow’s visa update, which will ultimately determine the final composition of the traveling squad.
