Abednego Tetteh, the standout goal scorer of the Ghana Premier League, has openly voiced his frustration and disappointment regarding what he perceives as unfair treatment by the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Tetteh’s grievances stem from his absence in both the Black Stars squad and the Player of the Season award list at a recent event held at the University of Professional Studies in Accra.
Despite his impressive performance as the top scorer in the GPL last season, the former Hearts of Oak and Bechem United forward has not received a call-up to the national team from the team’s technical handlers.
In contrast, Hafiz Konkoni and Jonathan Sowah, both domestically based attackers, have secured spots on the Black Stars squad in recent times. This situation has led Tetteh, formerly of Okwahu United, to temporarily hang up his football boots in frustration.
“They first called a different striker (Hafiz Wontah of Bechem United) and then for the second time another player that I scored more goals than is called (Jonathan Sowah). What have I done wrong to the GFA people?” Abednego Tetteh quizzed.
“Even look at the GFA awards, all the top scorers of the various leagues won the best player of that league but in my case I was not given the best player award despite being the top scorer of the league season. Have I offended anyone at the GFA? I really do not understand what is going on.
“Right now I am in the house, I am not playing for any club this season. I will not even play football again for now. It is better to stay in the house than doing myself and not be rewarded. They have started pre-season but I am in the house, I am not playing again for now.”
