Members of some Ghanaian supporters unions will today besiege the premises of the Canadian embassy to protest the refusal of the embassy to grant them visas for the upcoming Women\u2019s U-20 World Cup in Canada.<\/p>\n
Members across the country have lamented the high rate of visa denials by the Canadian embassy, insisting it is a deliberate ploy to frustrate the Black Princesses, who are paired in the same group as host nation, Canada.<\/p>\n
Others have also attributed this incident to a recent case, where over 100 \u00a0Ghanaian supporters who entered Brazil as tourists to watch the just-ended FIFA World Cup requested for asylum, citing religious conflict across the country.<\/p>\n
The Black Princesses will kick off their campaign on Tuesday, 5th<\/sup> of August and will be hoping to secure maximum points from their three group games to enable them secure their spot in the Knock-Out stages of the competition.<\/p>\n The demonstration is said to have been organized by the Coalition of Ghana supporters and will commence at exactly 10am at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle, Accra.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n By: Benjamin Epton Owusu\/Citifmonline.com\/Ghana<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Members of some Ghanaian supporters unions will today besiege the premises of the Canadian embassy to protest the refusal of the embassy to grant them visas for the upcoming Women\u2019s U-20 World Cup in Canada.
