• A team of sports journalists from Ghana have ramped up their efforts to make their case against Ghana Football Association heard
• The team has sought permission from the authorities for its planned demonstration
• Saddick Adams, a member of the team says the police have approved the request to stage the protest on Val's Day

Ghana's disappointing AFCON exit after its final group game against Mozambique infuriated scores of Black Stars supporters and sports journalists.

The disappointing performance of the Black Stars forced the Ghana Football Association to sack the team's head coach Chris Hughton and promptly set a committee to search for a replacement.

A team of journalists including Saddick Adams and Countryman Songo petitioned Nana Akufo-Addo to halt GFA's search for a new coach.

According to him, the team has received approval from the police to proceed with their protest against the GFA.

The peaceful protest which has been approved by the police will start at 9 am at Obra Spot, in Accra.

Good but a little education, they notified the police. You don't need permit from police to go on a demonstration.

We're all in,thanks for taking the effort.Kurt and his GFA should not be allowed to use Houghton's removal as an excuse for their acknowledged corruption and ineptitude,which has brought us to this sorry condition! We must protest until they resign or are forced to!
