Protesters at the ‘Save Ghana Football’ demonstrations are demanding the resignation of football authorities if they fail to address the continuous underperformance of the Black Stars and other national teams.
The team’s early exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations marks the third consecutive major tournament where they couldn’t advance beyond the group stage.
The Ghana Football Association, led by Kurt Okraku, is now in search of its fifth Black Stars coach in the last five years.
The ongoing demonstration, initiated at the Obra Spot in Accra, will traverse Asylum Down, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital, and culminate with the submission of a petition at the Ghana Football Association headquarters.
The protesters plan to continue their march to the Parliament of Ghana before concluding the protest at Independence Square.
Some protesters held placards that read :
