‘Save Ghana Football’ demonstration has kicked off, with notable Ghanaians joining football enthusiasts to express their discontent over the recent decline in the country’s primary sporting discipline.
Triggered by Ghana’s disappointing performance at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, where the team exited with only two points, the demonstration began at the well-known Obra Spot in Accra, with the ultimate destination being the headquarters of the Ghana Football Association.
Celebrities participating in the protest include gospel musicians Nicholas Omane Acheampong and Great Ampong, as well as sports journalist Countryman Songo.
The demonstration aims to highlight the ongoing issues that have crippled Ghanaian football and brought it to a critical juncture.
As the protest progresses, several placards bearing intriguing messages have been spotted.
One of the placards shared by the state broadcaster reads, “training behind closed doors, apeetor”.
Another placard sheds light on the supposed prevalence of conflict of interest at the GFA, with officials of the association also being owners and administrators of clubs.
