President of the Republic of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, in a bold move to promote transparency and accountability, has instructed the Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, to keep a close eye on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) as the Black Stars prepare for their upcoming World Cup qualifying matches in March 2024.
This directive came during President Mahama’s first State of the Nation Address (SONA) of his second term on Thursday, February 27, 2025.
“Next month, the senior national team, the Black Stars, which is now a pale shadow of its former glory, will play two World Cup qualifying matches. I’ve instructed my office and the office of the Minister of Sports and Recreation to hold the Ghana Football Association accountable to the people of Ghana as we prepare for this game,” he said.
The Black Stars currently sit second in Group I, level on points with leaders Comoros, with nine points from four matches.
They would face Chad in Accra on March 19 and then travel to Morocco to face Madagascar on March 24, 2025.
