The General Manager of Dreams FC, Ameenu Shardow, believes only massive investment can make Ghanaian clubs competitive again at the continental level.

His comments come on the back of both Ghanaian representatives failing to reach the group stage of the CAF Champions League or the Confederation Cup.

Both Bibiani GoldStars and Asante Kotoko were knocked out of the two competitions in the preliminary stages, meaning there are no Ghanaian clubs in the continental club competitions.

Speaking to Joy Sports, Shardow, whose side made the semifinals of the CAF Confederation Cup two seasons ago, believes Ghanaian clubs lack the needed investment and consistency.

"We need heavy investment in infrastructure and playing body so that we can retain more of our quality players," he said.

"So that when they go out there, they don't have any inferiority complex. What is also very key is that we need to have a consistent level of participation in Africa.

"I am very clear in my mind that if we get a good injection of investment in our local game, we will compete very favourably in African club competitions."

The group stages of the CAF Inter-Club competitions kick off later this month, and for the second year running, Ghana has no representative.
