World Cup 2022: Ghana fans arrested in Qatar for reselling match tickets

Some fans of Ghana Black Stars are in the custody of the Qatar police authorities over the resale of World Cup match tickets ahead of their final Group H clash against Uruguay.

This was disclosed by the country's Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr Mustapha Ussif on Tuesday, November 30.

"The police and the security agencies are always at the stadiums, monitoring things. We have toiled to get you tickets, we don’t want any of you to go out and sell them."

"So far the authorities have arrested some people and are taking them to court, they have sent the evidence to the Ambassador. We don’t want anybody to fall into this," Mustapha said.

The Black Stars will take on the South Americans in a crunch clash at the Al Janoub Stadium on Friday, December 3.

Many Ghanaians have dubbed the game as a revenge mission following the two sides meeting at the 2010 World Cup where Luiz Suarez's handball denied Ghana a place in the last 4.
