Shirak FC to miss Ghana’s Gyamfi in league opener

By Evans Gyamera-Antwi

The Gyumri-based club will miss the services of the Ghanaian in their
first game in the Armenian top-flight league after failing to sort out
his paper works

Former Wa All Stars midfielder Emmanuel Gyamfi will not be able to
play a part in Shirak FC’s first game of the season after failing to
acquire his ICT in time.

The second most successful club in Armenia were scheduled to play
Banants in the opening games last weekend but it was postponed because
several of their opponents’ players were part of the national Under-20
team.

They will battle Ararat at the Hrazdan Stadium on Saturday. The
19-year-old midfielder is disheartened after hearing the news but
believes his club can do the job without him.

“It’s a very unpleasant news for me because I’ve done everything right
to play this weekend,” Gyamfi told Goal Ghana. “I was told by the
technical team I’m ineligible to play because my paperworks are not
complete. The coach is not happy so am I, but I believe all will be
sorted out so I can play in our next game since that was the main
reason why I came to Armenia.”

Gyamfi signed a one-year season-long contract last month with an
option to extend the deal.
