GFA must listen to Ghanaian fans

 Dear Editor,

The manner issues about our national teams are handled in this country must be revised for us to move forward as a nation.

Characteristically, Black Stars coach Chris Hughton faced the axe after the team’s disastrous run at the AFCON 2023 in Cote d’Ivoire.

As if that was not enough, the rest of the techni­cal team members were all dismissed following the announcement of the dissolution of the team by the Ghana Football Association Executive Committee.

Interestingly, the major architects of the disappoint­ment, the players and decision makers have been left to stay in office to continue with the rot.

And when the team is reassembled, these heart­breakers will find their way into it.

It is very difficult to blame government for some of these procedures because of a perceived FIFA ‘covering’ on them but the time has come for Ghanaians to find a way to get them to also face some of the sanctions.

This is because they make inputs in the selection of players and have favourites among them.

Clearly, it also appears the FA has no regard for Ghanaians so calls to sideline some of the players are usually ignored and they expect the same people with little regard to buy tickets to the stadium to watch the team. How can fans pay to watch players they don’t want to see? That’s impossible.

It is time some of these footballers become more accountable to Ghanaians else we must leave their football for them.
