Former Black Stars defender, Samuel Inkoom has called on government to focus on youth football, saying it is the only way to revive the Black Star and Ghana football at large.
Ghana suffered another difficult Africa Cup of Nations after exiting the tournament at group stage, extending the wait for the AFCON trophy to 43 years.
Speaking on UTV, Inkoom, who is a product of colts football expressed his displeasure about the state of Ghana football and has therefore urged government to turn attention to it.
"Moving forward, if we want to see the Black Stars thrive again, we have to focus on the young one, colts football, inter-schools, that is where government should focus," he said on UTV.
Asked why the attention has switched away from youth football, Inkoom added: "It seems the Black Stars is exciting. They get a lot of sponsorship. There is money there but we forget that is where the players come from.
"This is where most of us were made. Myself, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu and John Painstil were all products of youth football."
