According to the lawmaker, the players failed because they showed no commitment, adding that, there was no enthusiasm from the technical team.
“Black Meteors players were after money and not committed. The technical team led by the head coach (Ibrahim Tanko) were a bit lazy in executing their professional work,” Mr Woyome, who was in Morocco with the Deputy Minister of Youth and Sports Evans Brobbey and Evans Antwi, also a member of the Parliamentary Select Committee of Youth, Sports & Culture told Accra-based Onua FM.
