It’s time we become fair and firm in our decision making in ghana football – Ex black Stars player.
Former Ghana international Derek Boateng has criticised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for their handling of the sport in Ghana following another unimpressive tournament experience.
Speaking ahead of the Black Meteors latest failure in their attempt to secure a slot of qualifications in the Olympics next year, he emphasized that the GFA has to be fair and firm in their decision making.
“It’s about time we start being fair and tough in our decision. We haven’t done enough to be at the Olympic Games. Some players doesn’t deserve to play for our national teams, its not only about inviting the players to come but football is played outside before going to the field. I think a lot of things have to change.”
Ghana played out a 1-1 stalemate against Guinea over the weekend, a result which meant they finished third in Group A with four points, exiting the competition on the goal difference rule.
They add to the recent failures of the various national teams under the guidance of the Kurt Okraku-led GFA administration
Boateng played through the ranks at the national team before advancing to feature for the senior teams on several occasions.
