Former Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi shares how Ghanaian clubs can make impact in Africa

Former Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi explained how Ghanaian clubs can make meaningful impact in Africa.

Ghanaian clubs particularly Kotoko and Hearts of Oak have failed to make impact in the Africa inter club competitions in recent times.

And the former CAF Vice President is of the opinion that Ghanaian clubs can perform well in Africa by recruiting quality players and also getting the qualified technical brains.

"I feel the quality of players is also a problem. Asante Kotoko sold all their quality players to teams they will be competing with. So, if you sell these players to your competitors you don't expect to do well" he told Kings TV GHSports.

"I feel we must invest in players and the technical team so they can train the players well, it is very important. It's all about money and we need a way to support teams playing in Africa by giving them some financial incentives.

"Berekum Arsenal and King Faisal didn't reach the group stage but Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko did but they did not pay the money so the Fund collapsed.  It was one of the ways government wanted to help in supporting the clubs in Africa, the FA were just facilitators".
