“Ghana football needs to admit that something is wrong with us but because of, more like, the politicization of our football hierarchy, people feel that if I admit things are not going well, the other parts will campaign with that against me, I will lose my votes so even when it’s not good, I will say it’s good” Kankam Boadu said.
At the time of writing, games in the Ghana Premier League have been suspended due to a rise in hooliganism.
