Government ‘cannot dissolve’ GFA – Sports Minister Kofi Adams
Pressure on the GFA has intensified after Ghana suffered back-to-back defeats in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers,
Sports and Recreation Minister Kofi Adams has firmly stated that the government lacks the authority to dissolve the Ghana Football Association (GFA). This comes in the wake of mounting calls for intervention following Ghana's recent poor performance in international competitions. The senior national team has suffered back-to-back defeats in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, putting them at risk of missing two consecutive tournaments.
Adams emphasized that the GFA is a registered entity that pays its taxes, and thus, the government does not have the power to dissolve it. He spoke to JoySports, urging the establishment of a public interest Committee to work for the benefit of all parties involved. However, he firmly reiterated that the government cannot dissolve the FA because it is a registered entity that fulfills its tax obligations.
Recently, Ghana has only managed to win one match out of their last eight across all competitions and has not recorded an AFCON qualifying victory since September 2023. Additionally, the GFA has parted ways with their head coach, Portuguese trainer Carlos Queiroz.
