Emmanuel Osei: President Mahama, dissolve GFA and save our soul
Dear President Mahama, There is a difficult conversation Ghanaian football can no longer avoid. It is not a conversation about witch-hunting the Ghana Football Association. It is not about wishing for the failure of Kurt Okraku, his Executive Council, or anyone entrusted with the administration of our football.
Dear President Mahama, our Ghanaian football faces a critical moment that cannot continue as business as usual. Over the past seven years, the national team has experienced multiple heartbreaking defeats in major tournaments, including group stage exits in the 2021 AFCON, 2022 World Cup, 2023 AFCON, and failed qualification for the 2025/2026 World Cup.
This decline has reached a point where Ghana has not qualified for the African Cup of Nations since September 2023, and two consecutive qualifying matches at home were lost to Niger and The Gambia.
As a concerned citizen, I write to you not as a family member connected to the Ghanaian football scene, but as an individual who loves the sport and sees the urgent need for change. Our forefathers brought us pride through their achievements, and it is our responsibility to ensure that our national team continues to represent Ghana with honor and integrity.
