Former GHALCA Chairman Joseph Yaw Appiah has fired the Ghana Football Association (GFA), describing its leadership as “self-centered” in the management of football affairs.
The Kurt Okraku-led administration has been in charge for six years since assuming office in 2019.
The country’s football governing body is the pressure on the GFA is the death of Francis Frimpong, a dedicated Asante Kotoko supporter, who was fatally stabbed during the club’s Premier League clash with Nsoatreman FC in Week 19.
“They are self-centered, close circuit. Whatever they say, nobody can challenge it,” he told JoySports.
“When you sit down and watch things going on, at times you become sad. When you talk, they will call you to Ethics Committee.
“Look at the performance of the Black Stars, [other] national teams, do what is good if you don’t want people to talk.”
The tragic incident prompted the suspension of the league as the GFA held emergency talks with all 18 Premier League clubs to find solutions to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
Also, the FA is facing growing criticism due to disappointing performances across various levels of Ghanaian football.
A significant low point was the Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations — their first absence from the tournament since 2004.
