“I don’t follow Ghana football” -Former GFA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi

Former Ghana Football Association President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has indicated that he has not been following Ghanaian football lately.

In the interview, Nyantakyi was asked to advise the current administration, but he admitted that he had a minimum knowledge of what was going on in Ghana football.

“I don’t know much about Ghana football. I have not been following it like I did when I was there, “he told Kings TV GH.

Kwesi Nyantakyi also disclosed why Ghana had a poor 2014 World Cup.

“The 2006 and 2010 World Cups were successful, but the 2014 one was unsuccessful. There were so many problems, “he continued.

“The problem had to do with the money that was supposed to be given to the players.

“The Bank of Ghana had credited the Ministry of Youth and Sports account, but for them to release it to the players, it became a problem. The point is, based on our previous experiences, the players were paid before leaving for the tournament.

“The moment we named the 23 players, the Ministry was supposed to pay the players and it would have been through credit transfer, but that was a huge problem. There was no need to fly money to Brazil.

Kwesi Nyantakyi was president of the Ghana Football Association from 2005 to 2018.

He led Ghana to three FIFA World Cups and two Africa Cup of Nations finals.

 Ghana finished second at AFCON 2010 and AFCON 2015.
