Former Black Stars defender, Samuel Inkoom, has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to embrace feedback and constructive criticism in the wake of the national team’s disappointing performance at the 2023 African Cup of Nations (AFCON).
Inkoom’s remarks, made during an appearance on UTV’s United Showbiz, come amidst growing calls for reform within the football administration in Ghana.
While acknowledging the frustrations of fans and stakeholders, Inkoom emphasized that dissolving the GFA would not address the underlying issues facing Ghanaian football.
“It is not the dissolution of the FA that will help us, but what I would add is, they should also be receptive to the ideas others bring on board because we are all looking for the best interest of the game,” he asserted.
The call for change has gained momentum recently, with notable journalists organizing the ‘Save Ghana Football’ march in Accra on February 14.
Participants in the march called for a significant changes in the governance of Ghana Football.
Following the march, a petition was submitted to Parliament, urging lawmakers to address the crisis in Ghanaian football. The petition has since been referred to the Committee on Youth and Sports for further consideration.
Some MPs expressed concern over the declining fortunes of the sport, with one suggesting government intervention despite the risk of a FIFA ban.
