The Asantehen, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, has urged the new Sports and Recreation Minister, Kofi Adams, to monitor the Black Stars closely to ensure individuals do not hand opportunities to their own players.
Otumfuo, addressing the minister following the latter's visit, admitted the significant fall of the senior national team in the last few years which he attributes to nepotism from top people within the Ghana Football Association.
The Black Stars have failed to progress from the group stage in any of their last three competitions while they also missed out on an opportunity to grab a ticket for the next Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
"The Black Stars have been disgraceful these days. You have to get the Black Stars on the winning track," Otumfuo challenged Kofi Adams.
"Make sure the technical team invites players who deserve to be in the national team. No other person should be allowed to bring their players to the team."
Ghanaians will be keeping a close eye on that request with the Black Stars set to assemble next month for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Chad and Madagascar.
