Communications Minister Ashiadey Dotse George has called for the disbandment of Ghana’s senior national football team, the Black Stars, and the dissolution of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) following a 4-2 defeat to The Gambia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers. This loss came after Ghana had already suffered a 2-0 defeat to Côte d’Ivoire in their opening Group C fixture, leaving them without a point from their first two matches.
The Black Stars now face an uphill battle to qualify for the 2027 AFCON tournament, which will be hosted by Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. George, who is also the Member of Parliament for Ningo-Prampram, expressed frustration in a message posted on social media, stating that the current patchwork approach to the team's management is worse than disbanding the entire entity.
He urged for the sacking of the GFA and a two-year ban from FIFA, emphasizing the need for a proper rebuilding process.
