As at the time of filing this report, we can exclusively confirm to you that Kotoko cannot account for the whereabouts of the two Sudanese players, AbdoelKarem AbdoelRahman Yoouef Yagoub and Esmat Abdalhamid.
The two players left the team’s hotel in the late hours of Friday, October 11 and their whereabouts cannot be traced.
However, the FBI has been notified of this development.
Kotoko, who qualified for the match will not be represented due to visa issues, as a result, Ghana will be represented by a called “Ghana Week DC Select Side.”
This revised squad will feature the Asante Kotoko players who were granted visa, two from Attram De Visser FC, and other top Ghanaian players based in the U.S.
The event, a highlight of DC Ghana Week, aims to celebrate and promote Ghanaian tourism, culture, and sports in the DMV area, strengthening ties between Ghana, the U.S., and the African diaspora.
Organized by the Ghana Tourism Authority (GTA) and the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the match will showcase the rich cultural heritage of Ghana while fostering unity through sport.
Kick-off is at 6 p.m., with D.C. United taking on the Ghana Week DC Select Side in what promises to be an exciting cultural celebration.
