The Ghana Football Association have lodged an official complaint with Africa's football governing body, CAF and the Namibia Football Association after Namibia coach, Jacqueline Shipanga leveled accusations of age-cheating against Ghana.

Following the Black Princesses' 10-0 aggregate scoreline over two legs against Namibia in the qualifying for the FIFA U-20 Women's World Cup, Shipanga made age-cheating allegation against Ghana and cited striker Florence Dadson in particular.

The GFA says Jacqueline Shipanga's comments impunes their integrity and want her conduct checked.

“The Management Committee of Ghana’s Under-20 female team, the Black Princesses have read with disgust, accusations of age-cheating leveled against the team by the coach of Namibia’s Under-20 team, Jacqueline Shipanga.

“The committee and for that matter, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) takes serious exception to these allegations which is intended to discredit the efforts being put in further develop and promote women’s football and impune on the integrity of GFA.

“The committee finds the behavior and utterance of Ms Shipanga as unguarded and very irresponsible which has impuned on the integrity of Ghana.”
