Former president of the Ghana Football Association, Kwesi Nyantakyi, says the Save Ghana Football demonstration was not necessary.
The demonstration in February, attended by hundreds of football fans, was spearheaded by a group of journalists who think Ghana football is at an all-time low, and a change in the structure of football governance is needed to rescue the situation.
The demonstrators went ahead to present a 15-point petition to Parliament, the Sports Ministry, and the Ghana Football Association.
Reacting to the demonstration, Kwesi Nyantakyi said he does not agree with the Save Ghana Football demonstrators.
“I don’t agree with the Save Ghana Football demonstration. The protest was not necessary. They should have just put the petition on paper and sent it to the GFA,” Nyantakyi told Onua TV.
Ghana’s humiliating exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations was the last piece in the puzzle that triggered the Save Ghana Football Association.
Kwesi Nyantakyi has admitted "Ghana football declined since I left. Since 2019, we have always exited after the first round or even in the group stage. So if you draw a graph, you’d see a steep slope.”
