CEO of King Faisal, Vincent Sowah Odotei, has reiterated the need for the Ghana Football Association to intensify efforts at supporting clubs in their quest to achieve continental glory.
This follows CAF’s decision to reduce Ghana’s slots for the inter club competitions from four to two due to poor performance.
The new change is expected to take effect in 2011.
No Ghanaian club side has been able to play in the money zone of the CAF Champions League since 2006.
Vincent Sowah Odotei says the FA must develop a structure to help domestic clubs perform well at the continental club competitions.
“If the super ordinate vision of Ghana football the FA is that we want to dominate Africa then if I qualify the FA must make sure that it has a plan, systems and structures to support the clubs so that the vision of the FA of continental dominance can be achieved."
He called for a committee to be constituted, membership of which will be made up of football people, business and technical men and tasked with the responsibility of coming out with a recommendation on how to solve the problem.
Spokesperson of the GFA, Randy Abbey says his outfit is exploring avenues of improving the situation.
“The issue of clubs participating in Africa and doing well, I believe is a multifaceted problem.
“There are people who raise the issue of finance. When it comes to club football, we all need to appreciate that there is shared responsibility. There is what the FA can do and there is what the clubs must do.
“We do not have a perfect system; what we have is better than it was before. We are trying very hard to see how we can continue to improve on what we have so that it can respond to current demands and expected demands in the future," he said.
