According to Fobi, in as much as Ghanaians are disappointed they will be watching the Olympics without Ghana, the players are also sad they will not be at the competition.Â
"We are all disappointed we couldn’t make it to the Olympics. We all know how this would’ve meant for Ghanaians, players and coaches but sad we couldn’t make it. Failure is a bend in the road, not the end of the road. We will keep growing and moving forward 🇬ðŸ‡.
