GFA didn't stand by me in my fight against racism- Sulley Muntari

Sulley Muntari walked off the field after he was racially abused by fans of Cagliari whiles playing for Pescara in May

Sulley Muntari has accused the Ghana Football Association (GFA) of lying to Ghanaians that they showed solidarity with him after he was racially abused.

The 32-year-old Ghanaian midfielder walked off the field after he was racially abused by a section of the Cagliari fans.

Muntari was handed a game ban, but the decision was rescinded by Italian FA Disciplinary Committee following pressure from international bodies.

The Ghana Football Association was earlier criticised for refusing to publicly release a statement in support of Sulley Muntari.

However, they indicated that he had officially communicated to Sulley Muntari after the racial abuse to stand by the Ghanaian midfielder.

Muntari, however in a latest interview has lashed out at the GFA for lying to the nation that they showed solidarity with him following the racial abuse.

“No they didn’t.”He said: “No I wasn’t” adding “one thing is that I am not a victim. I can handle myself. I can handle my situation. I’m not there for anyone to call and have pity for me. No. I was in, I can handle my situation and I go out of it,” he told Star FM.
