The Ghana Football Association president today denied agreeing for the national team to play in matches that others were preparing to fix.
An undercover investigation identified two people, one a licensed FIFA agent and the other a Ghana club official, who said they could fix friendly matches involving the national side through bribed match officials.

The report by Channel 4's Dispatches and The Telegraph claimed that GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi had agreed for Ghana to play in two proposed matches after the World Cup, but he has denied that.

A video shows Christopher Forsythe, from Ghanaian sports management agency ForSports, and Obed Nketiah, chief executive of Ghana's Berekum Chelsea, apparently agreeing to arrange for bribed officials to influence the result of a post-World Cup friendly against the USA.
In the filmed meeting - which Mr Nyantakyi was not at - Mr Forsythe is heard to say: 'We will get the officials that we have greased their palms, so that they will do it.'
