Video: Protesters hoot at, sack Deputy Sports Minister, ‘Save Ghana Football’ demo

Amidst jeers and boos, several high-ranking officials from the Ministry of Youth and Sports and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) faced dismissal by protestors during the Save Ghana Football demonstration.

Among those identified were GFA’s General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, Deputy Sports Minister Evans Bobie Opoku, and GFA’s Executive Council Member, Nana Oduro Sarfo.

The officials encountered a chorus of “Kurt Must Go” chants and disapproving remarks as they approached to receive the formal petition from the demonstration leaders at Black Stars Square, the designated gathering point for the protestors.

The demonstrators had initially planned to convene at the Accra Sports Stadium to voice their grievances to the National Sports Authority (NSA). However, upon being denied entry, they were redirected to Black Stars Square.

The protest stemmed from discontent over the poor performance of the Black Stars at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.

With no victories in any of their matches, Ghana was eliminated from the tournament after recording two draws and a defeat during the group stage.
