Alhaji Karim Grusah, owner of King Faisal FC, has expressed his concern over the reluctance of Ghanaian football clubs to criticize the Ghana Football Association (GFA). In an interview with Onua FM, Grusah pointed out that clubs like Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak are hesitant to speak out against the GFA due to the fear of relegation.
He alleged that intimidation and victimization have silenced these clubs regarding the mismanagement of the Ghanaian football system. Grusah's remarks come during a challenging period for Ghanaian football, with the national team and the Premier League facing criticism for their performance and administrative issues. The Black Stars have suffered a disappointing start to their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign, losing their first two matches.
Grusah has urged Sports Minister Kofi Adams to intervene and demand the resignation of the GFA leadership. He further threatened the future of Ghanaian football players, claiming that those not favored by GFA officials might miss out on opportunities to represent the national team. Grusah also questioned the absence of Ghana's youth national teams under the current leadership of GFA president Kurt Okraku.
