Current GFA is killing Ghana football – Ex-Black Stars player Agyemang Badu


Former midfielder for the Black Stars, Emmanuel Agyemang, has expressed his concerns about the current state of Ghanaian football, particularly in light of the Ghana U23 team’s early exit from the AFCON U-23 tournament in Morocco.

Unfortunately, their elimination at the group stage means that they will not qualify for the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.

This marks the third occasion in a little over a year that a Ghanaian national team has been unable to advance past the initial round of an international competition.

Agyemang’s lamentations highlight the disappointing performances and challenges faced by Ghanaian football on the international stage.

“When I talk, I don’t get anything from it, but I’m talking because the sport that gave me something is about to die and I can’t just look on,” he told Joy Sports.

“The GFA needs to organize an emergency meeting tomorrow and take stock of what’s happening. Where our football is heading is dangerous.

“Ghana football is in dangerous times. If care isn’t taken, in a couple of years, qualification to major competitions may become problematic.”

The Black Meteors arrived in Ghana on Monday morning after an abysmal showing in Morocco, as reported by Ghanafa.org.

Derek Boateng blasts GFA

Earlier, Sports Brief reported that former Ghana midfielder, Derek Boateng has accused the Ghana Football Association of influencing player selection in the various national teams.

His comment comes after the Black Meteors’ disastrous showing at the Africa U-23 Cup of Nations, where Ghana were eliminated from the group stage.
