Legendary Ghanaian footballer, Charles Taylor has revealed that he was denied parking access inside the Accra Sports Stadium during the 2025 President’s Cup match.
According to Taylor, he arrived at the stadium early in his Daewoo Matiz, hoping to secure a parking space, but was told there was no space available.
However, former AS Roma forward Felix Afena-Gyan arrived moments later in a Range Rover and was escorted by security personnel to park inside the stadium.

The former Asante Kotoko player expressed sadness over the incident, saying he shed tears due to the disrespect he felt despite his achievements in Ghanaian football history.
“During the President’s Cup, when I got to the venue with my car, they told me there was no space to park inside. Do you know what happened? It pained me, and I sat in my car crying. Afena-Gyan came with a Range Rover, and they opened the gate for him to park inside where GBC had stationed their vehicle.
“So it means they looked at my car and made that decision. These days, people judge you by the brand of your car and give you respect accordingly. Afena-Gyan, can he even match my left leg? Yet they escorted him to park inside, and I didn’t know where to park…” he lamented in Twi while speaking on Angel TV.
Taylor is now a sports pundit on Angel TV following his retirement from football.
