AFCON 2021:Philemon Baffour deserves his call up- Kurt Okraku

President of the Ghana football Association Kurt Okraku, has described Ghanaians continuous criticism of Dreams FC defender, Philemon Baffour as unfair.

The 20-year has been selected for National team duty on several occasions but has not had the opportunity to feature for the team.

Baffour was included in Ghana’s 28-man squad for the AFCON tournament but once again did not feature in any of the group games following the team’s early exit from the tournament.

Speaking in an interview on Asempa FM, Kurt Okraku called out Ghanaians for their treatment of the Dreams FC player.

“I think all of us have been unfair to Philemon Baffour, he is a proud son of Ghana.”

“He was selected by the technical team and there was a reason why he was selected so why is he being picked on? He asked.

“If the coach decides to use Daniel Amartey, it is his prerogative, that does not take the quality of Philemon Baffour away.

“We need to stop the unfair criticism and support him, he’s made his mark at the club and U-20 level.
