Owner and bankroller of King Faisal, Alhaji Karim Grusah, has called on President John Mahama to relieve the Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kurt Okraku, and his entire management team of their duties in a bid to restore Ghana football to its former glory.
Over the past few years, football in Ghana has seen a significant decline. The Black Stars suffered back-to-back group-stage exits in the 2021 and 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and recently failed to qualify for the next edition of the tournament in 2025.
This, coupled with the deteriorating state of the Ghana Premier League, has sparked widespread public outcry, with many citizens demanding reforms.
Speaking in an interview with Asempa FM, Ahlaji Grusah highlighted the challenges facing Ghana football and joined the growing chorus of Ghanaians calling for changes at the top of the GFA.
“We performed woefully in Ivory Coast and still failed to qualify for AFCON, despite being in a group with Niger, Sudan, and Angola,” Grusah lamented.
He further criticized the current administration and urged President Mahama to take bold steps to address the issue.
“The government should sack them and not fear a FIFA ban because FIFA didn’t create Ghana football. If the government truly wants to improve Ghana football, they need to overhaul the Football Association,” he added.
