The over 15 players who recently returned from Ethiopia and were quarantined at the Ghanaman Soccer School of Excellence Isolation Centre at Prampram have been released by the Ghana Health Service.

The players were airlifted from Addis Ababa two weeks ago after sending an SOS message to the Government of Ghana and the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Leader of the team, Lee Addy expressed their profound gratitude to the government of Ghana for facilitating their return.
