“Apologise to Ghanaians” – Kwesi Nyantakyi tells GFA

The former president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwesi Nyantakyi, is pleading with the current government to unconditionally apologize to Ghanaians in the wake of the Black Stars’ appalling performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

After dropping one game and drawing two during their group stage campaign, the four-time champions were dealt a stunning elimination from the competition. Ghana lost in the opening round of the AFCON for the second time in a row, disappointing and frustrating supporters.

Ghanaian football fans’ dissatisfaction has been heightened by the lackluster performance, with some calling for a total reform of the football association.

The move to fire coach Chris Hughton has been praised by some, but the Ghana Football Association has yet to officially address the public on their stance or express regret for the team’s shortcomings.

In light of this, Nyantakyi is emphatically calling for the GFA to issue an immediate and sincere apology. “The GFA must come out and apologize.

“They need to assuage the pain of the people by telling them they are sorry and being ready to make amends and move forward,” he stated during an interview with GTV Sports Plus.

Simultaneously, a five-member committee has been established to spearhead the search for a new coach for the Black Stars. The move signals a proactive step by the GFA to address the shortcomings and reevaluate the team’s direction as they plan for the future.
