Unfortunately, the Black Starlets were unable to secure a spot in the final of the regional tournament, losing 2-1 at the University of Ghana Stadium on Saturday.
While the GFA supports Kingston's decision to leave the team, they strongly condemn his unprofessional behavior following the match.
Kingston's use of inappropriate language and his resignation in front of the players and coaching staff is considered unacceptable.
Furthermore, he did not attend the team's meeting with the management committee and has not returned to the team hotel.
