Sports Ministry to engage stakeholders in national dialogue after “SaveGhanaFootball” Demo

Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, has stated that the Ministry will engage stakeholders in a series of dialogues to address issues on improving football in Ghana.

He said this in his address to Ghana’s Parliament after Ghana’s participation in the 2023 AFCON that took place in Cote D’Ivoire.

The Black Stars exit from the preliminary stage for the second AFCON edition in a row triggered the Save Ghana Football demonstration that had conveners deliver a petition to members of parliament.

Conveners highlighted the need to dissolve the committee searching for a Black Stars head coach and the dissolution of committees managing the national football teams.

“The Ministry of Youth and Sports is aware of the disappointment among the Ghanaian populace and therefore intends to instigate measures that would lead to a national dialogue of all stakeholders, to come up with modern and inclusive ways of managing the National Teams” Honourable Ussif stated.

Honourable Ussif added that $3 million of the $5 million budgeted for the Black Stars 2023 AFCON campaign was spent.
