Alex Ababio, the CEO of Bofoakwa Tano, is sounding the alarm over a potential boycott of their upcoming FA Cup semifinal clash against Dreams FC.
The match, set for May 12th at the Theatre of Dreams, hangs in uncertainty as Bofoakwa Tano demands financial backing from the organizing committee to cover their travel and accommodation expenses.
In an interview with Akoma FM, Ababio stressed the importance of the FA Cup committee footing the bill for their journey from Sunyani to Sogakope.
He firmly stated that without adequate funding, Bofoakwa Tano might not be able to fulfill their fixture against Dreams FC.
"The FA Cup committee must fund our travel expenses if they truly expect us to honor our FA Cup match against Dreams FC in Sogakope. Otherwise, there's no feasible way for us to secure funding and make the trip from Sunyani to Sogakope."
Ababio also expressed skepticism about the choice of venue, suggesting bias in favor of Dreams FC. He pointed to past incidents of perceived unfairness against Bofoakwa Tano during matches held at the venue, notably referencing their previous encounter with Dreams FC.
Despite acknowledging some financial support from the committee, Ababio deemed it insufficient, stating, "What matters is that if they are willing to cover our expenses, we can proceed; otherwise, I'm uncertain we can honor the match. Even though they offer some financial assistance, it is still inadequate."
