Former Black Stars and Asante Kotoko midfielder, Yussif Chibsah has made an astonishing revelation that the Swedish Embassy here in Accra is not granting visas to Ghanaian players due to their inability to provide their school certificates and weighing cards.

According to Chibsah, Ghanaian players dream of fulfilling their potential are being curtailed due to them not being granted visas and if the situation continues, he will have no option than to petition the various authorities.

"They are demanding for school certificates and weighing cards before they will be given a visa. What happens to players who don’t have school certificates and those born in the villages without a weighing card?, he told Happy FM on why players are refused visas.

He added: "The Swedish Embassy in Ghana is worrying our players. They’ve denied many talented players from pursuing their dreams outside.

"Government, Ministry of Youth and Sports and Ministry of Foreign Affairs must come on Board and address this issue because the treatment is unfair and unjust. Denying players with the right documents from traveling is bad".

"We will petition the authorities to look into this matter because it’s very bad", he concluded.
