The Ministry of Youth and Sports has issued a directive to tour operators who are organising supporters and visa applicants for the impending Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko match that would be staged in London on 7 March 2020, to remove non-refundable clauses in their financial packages for the trip.

The Ministry has also warned the public to be careful by thoroughly reading the entire agreement before making any financial commitments.

In a statement, the Ministry said it has learnt that, over the years, that has been the practice by some traveling agents to shortchange innocent Ghanaians most especially those who were not successful in their visa application process.

“The Ministry is, therefore, serving notice to the organisers that, it won't sit aloof for any Ghanaian to be cheated and is asking the organisers to monitor the actions of these travelling agents,” the statement said adding that it “would not hesitate to intervene to salvage any Ghanaian and if possible take a strong decision on the game.”
