The tournament, which is being organised by Nuru Bremansu, was to mark the birthday of Appiah which falls on December 24. Stephen Appiah, who led the country to it first World Cup appearance in 2006 told Daily Graphic last week Monday the event was to bring together his friends, playmates, and other Ghanaian players to celebrate his birthday on the pitch and have some fun afterward.
