Former Black Stars player Shilla Illiasu has called for a development plan to be put together and seriously worked on for Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team to get better.
He said this in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports after Ghana lost 2-0 to Sudan in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers in Libya.
The loss seriously dwindles Ghana’s chances of qualifying to compete at the 2025 AFCON in Morocco with Ghana picking up just two points from four games.
With Ghana suffering its latest loss in Group F, Illiasu, who played for Ghana at the 2006 FIFA World Cup, called for immediate ambitions to qualify to the AFCON and 2026 FIFA World Cup to be ditched for longer term plan for sustained success.
“Going forward, I think the time has come for every Ghanaian to let us understand that there is a problem with the team and in order to build a very solid team, we need to forget about AFCON, we need to forget about World Cup and let’s try to put together a plan either a five year development plan and let the whole country understand that there is a problem with the team.”
