Former Chairman of GHALCA, JY Appiah
Former Chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Joseph Yaw (JY) Appiah, has said that the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, is responsible for the struggles of the Black Stars in recent times.
He explained that the minister’s role in the appointment of coaches for the Black Stars, in conjunction with the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has not yielded positive results.
Appiah stated that the coaches who are appointed to steer the affairs of the Black Stars are not qualified and competent enough, which has resulted in the disappointing results the team has been churning out.
“I blame the sports minister for the Black Stars’ woes, as he oversees the appointment of underqualified coaches for the national team,” he said, as shared by Oyerepa TV/FM on X, formerly known as Twitter.
This comes as the Black Stars are on the brink of failing to qualify for the 2025 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco for the first time in 20 years following a disastrous performance.
After four matches played, Ghana are third in Group F with two points, Sudan are in second place with seven points, while Angola leads with twelve points.
The Black Stars will travel to face Angola and play the last match against Niger in Ghana in November 2024.
