Former Ghana international Tony Yeboah has said that Ghana football is dead in the West African country, claiming that everyone knows it.
Ghana football has failed to attract fans, with poor attendance at the different stadiums this season.
In an interview with Accra-based Peace FM, the former Black Stars striker stated that he has no idea what is going on in the nation in terms of football since he does not keep up with it.
“I don’t know what is going on because I don’t follow,” he said. “Everyone knows Ghana football is dead because they didn’t listen to the advice we gave them from the beginning.
“So I think they are currently facing the punishment. If you involve bribes and stuff like that in football, you will destroy the game.”
Yeboah, an Entraintch Frankfurt icon, also suggested that the leadership take a more interest in developing players and reviving Colts football in order to create the outstanding players that Ghana is known for.
“The only advice I can give them is to go back and train the kids for youth (football) and develop Colts football, because otherwise it will be difficult to get top players like we used to have.” It will be really difficult.”
Ghanaian clubs have struggled to qualify for the CAF inter-club championships’ group stage.
Berekum Chelsea are the latest Ghanaian team to have reached the CAF Champions League group stage, while Asante Kotoko are the last Ghanaian club to have reached the Confederations Cup group stage in 2019.
The Black Stars have failed to snap the country’s trophy drought of 41 years. The squad was eliminated from the group stage of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon after finishing last in their group with only one point.
Otto Addo’s team was eliminated from the group stage of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar after winning just one game.
