The Black Stars will be spotting black armbands for the 2013 Nations Cup qualifier against Malawi, the Ghana FA has confirmed. This follows CAF�s decision to grant the request of the Ghana FA over the use of the armbands in Saturday�s game to honour the memory of late President John Atta-Mills. �We thank CAF for approving the GFA�s request to honour President Mills during Saturday�s match against Malawi,� Ghana FA�s spokesman Ibrahim Sannie-Daara disclosed in an official statement. �The players will be wearing black armbands in our match (against Malawi).� This is the first time the Black Stars are playing at home since the country�s leader died on 24 July. President Mills was a staunch football follower and was once the chairman of the Black Stars management committee. He was laid to rest on August 10th at a designated location which was later christened the Asomdwe Park in Accra after a two-day burial service attended by several world leaders.
