An undisclosed number of football fans are reported to have absconded from the Ghana camp in Natal in an attempt to reach the United States of America (USA) in search of greener pastures.
Information gathered by the GNA Sports, reveals that some of the fans packed bags and baggage and left the camp after the Ghana-USA match last Monday.
According to the information, the fans left the camp with the aid of some agents in Brazil, having been promised an easy route to the USA through Nicaragua and Mexico.
The situation has compelled officials to conduct a registration of fans at the camp and checks from the registration desk at the camp reveals that, about 450 fans have been registered out of the 610 fans
However, an official told the GNA Sports that, people were still registering hence they could not conclude that over 200 fans have absconded.

Chief Superintendent Naa Hamza Yakubu, Head of Security Task Force at the camp confirmed to the GNA Sports that, he had received information to that effect and they were investigating the matter.
He however noted some of the fans have also relocated because of the location of the camp and will return to the camp when the team is about leaving for Ghana.
