We should be ashamed we don’t have a good facility to camp Black Stars - Augustine Ahinful

Former Ghana international Augustine Ahinful the country should be ashamed of itself if it does not have a facility the national team can camp in ahead of major tournaments.

The Black Stars had planned to pitch camp in Johannesburg, South Africa ahead of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations but had to cancel it after public backlash.

The team eventually camped in Kumasi for more than a week before they flew to Ivory Coast for the tournament which was disastrous like the previous one after getting kicked out at the group stage.

“I’ve played for the Black Stars and worn the Ghana jersey before and I don’t think I will be the person who will want to see the Black Stars fail,” he told Asempa FM in an interview monitored by FootballGhana.com.

“I think that there is a bit of arrogance around the team. In 2024, if the country doesn’t have a national camping facility for the team, then we have to be ashamed of ourselves.”

Chris Hughton has since been sacked and the Ghana Football Association forming a committee to recommend a new coach in three weeks.
