The Ghana League Clubs Association (Ghalca) have expressed their deepest shock over the death of ace football administrator Jones Abu Alhassan.
The astute Ghanaian football guru was announced dead in Ivorian capital of Abidjan on Tuesday after short illness.
The Black Stars management committee member is said to have fell ill on Friday evening as he prepared to return to Ghana following Hasaacas Ladies’ annexation of the WAFU B Clubs Championship title last week.[ads2]

Plans were underway to fly him back to Accra on Tuesday afternoon but he passed away in the morning in the hospital.
However, Ghalca have expressed their deepest condolences to the family of the ace football administrator.
“We are shattered by the news of the passing of one of the outstanding football administrators in Ghana Jones Alhassan Abu.[ads3]
“He was a luminary in the country’s game and contributed immensely to the growth of Ghana football. May Allah grant him Jannatul-Firdaus”, Ghalca tweeted.
