The 345 football fans left stranded at the El-Wak sports stadium since last week have finally been airlifted to South Africa to cheer on the Black Stars.
The fans were left stranded after government said it had finished airlifting all one thousand fans it budgeted for.
The issue led to public disagreements between the Deputy Sports Minister on the one hand and the Local Government Minister on the other.
In the end, the ruling National Democratic Congress seemed to have prevailed with the successful airlifting of the fans to South Africa last night via the South African Airways.
National Organizer of the NDC, Yaw Boateng Djan, tells Joy News the party had support from some unidentified philanthropists who sponsored the trip.
Meanwhile, Deputy Sports Minister under the Kufuor Administration, O.B. Amoah has warned the NDC of the consequences of sponsoring such a large number of people for the World Cup.
