Ghanaian international, Sulley Ali Muntari has apologised to the country and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for his part in the incidents which marred the country’s participation in the 2014 World Cup in Brazil.
Muntari was suspended indefinitely from the Black Stars along with Kevin Prince Boateng for what the GFA described as disruptive behaviour during Ghana’s participation at the tournament.
The FA stated that Muntari was suspended after ‘an unprovoked attack’ on Black Stars management member Moses Armah at the tournament in Brazil.’
The player has not appeared for the national team since the tournament although it has been suggested that an apology would get him back in the GFA’s good books.
Head coach Avram Grant said: “The door is open for everyone- they need to show they are willing to play – If they are willing to sacrifice then the door is open to them.”
In his letter to the GFA, Muntari apologised for his actions in Brazil and expressed his willingness to play for the Black Stars again.
“I write to express my sincere apology to the Ghana Football Association and the entire nation for any embarrassment that my action in Brazil brought to the Black Stars Team, the Ghana Football Association and my beloved country Ghana,” Muntari wrote,
“I have reflected on what happened and I am deeply sorry and apologize to all the stakeholders in the GFA who were offended by my actions. ”
The Black Stars failed to make it out of their group in Brazil, which included Portugal, USA and eventual winners Germany
Below is the full letter of apology Sulley Muntari sent to the GFA:
