Ghalca Chairman Raises Alarm Over Decline Of Ghana Football

The chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) Kudjoe Fianoo, has expressed deep concerns about the current state of Ghanaian football, describing it as being in disarray.

In an interview on another platform , Ghalca Chairman Fianoo attributed this decline to a “family and friends” system within the Ghana Football Association, suggesting that personal interests are prioritized over the progress and development of football in the country.

Fianoo’s comments come in the wake of the Black Stars’ disappointing performance in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. Ghana, Once a dominant force in African football, four time Afcon champions, recently suffered a 2-0 defeat against Sudan in both leg , leaving them winless in their first four matches and sitting third position in group F with just two points.

“It is now looking very unlikely for Ghana to qualify. The GFA is being run with friends and families who are only there for personal benefits, not to improve the game. Ghana football is in a complete mess. If the FA continues with this family and friends system, we will continue to see these results. Those at the GFA seem more interested in their own gain than in advancing our football.”

“Things can only change if we stop the ‘yes sir, master’ mentality and speak the truth to those in power.” – he added

As the Black Stars prepare for their final qualifiers against Angola and Niger next month, the team hopes to turn their fortunes around and salvage their AFCON campaign.
