Nana Oduro Sarfo, ExCo member for the GFA
Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Nana Sarfo Oduro, has stated that the football governing body in Ghana is not accountable to fans or the general public.
According to Sarfo, the GFA’s administration is only answerable to football clubs and individuals within the association.
His comments come in response to public outcry from Ghanaians demanding reforms in the GFA following a low point in Ghanaian football.
In an interview with Asempa FM, Sarfo explained the association’s structure and clarified why it is not obligated to fans or citizens.
“The Ghana Football Association is accountable to the football people. It is an organisation. We are accountable to each and every football club. The association is made up of individual clubs. We are not accountable to supporters or Ghanaians,” he said.
Over the years, the GFA has faced intense criticism for the poor state of football in Ghana.
The country’s recent failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations has further fueled frustration among football fans, many of whom are calling for reforms within the association.
