In a display of frustration and dissatisfaction with the state of football management in Ghana, hundreds of passionate football supporters took to the streets of Accra in a peaceful demonstration. The protest, named the ‘Save Ghana Football’ demo, aims to address the ongoing issues plaguing the sport in the country.
Led by prominent sports journalists and supported by devoted fans, the demonstrators plan to present a petition to key stakeholders including the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the Ministry of Youth and Sports, and the National Sports Authority (NSA).
Anticipated to be a gathering of influential figures from the sports, entertainment, and political spheres, the protest highlights the urgency for immediate action to rectify the challenges facing Ghanaian football.
Among the pressing concerns driving the demonstration is the recent disappointing performance of the Ghana national team, resulting in an early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) held in Ivory Coast. The embarrassing outcome of the tournament underscores deeper systemic issues within Ghanaian football administration that demand urgent attention and resolution.
The ‘Save Ghana Football’ protest signals a collective call for accountability, transparency, and reform within the country’s football governance structures. As voices unite on the streets of Accra, the demonstrators hope to ignite positive change and rejuvenate the nation’s passion for the beautiful game.
