General Manager of Nsoatreman FC, Eric Alagidede has appealed to the Government of Ghana to invest in the development of football in the nation.
His appeal is after his side suffered an elimination from the CAF Confederation Cup followng a 3-0 aggregate defeat against CS Constantine in their first-ever appearance in the tournament.
Nsoatreman suffered a 2-0 defeat in the first leg and a 1-0 loss in the second leg.
Speaking to Asempa FM‘s Ultimate Sports Show after their exit, Alagidede emphasized the need for government’s support in football development to enhance the country’s performance on the continental stage.
“Government must have an interest in developing our game. CS Constantine flew straight to the country but when we were going there, we had to fly to Istanbul, Algers and then to Constantine.
“For the North Africans, the country is deeply involved because when the team qualifies, they see it as the country that has qualified so it is about time that government must invest in our game.”
Alagidede also pointed out the lack of an approved stadium for their matches, expressing concern over the current state of Ghanaian football.
“Even if we should have qualified, we don’t even have an approved stadium that we would have played our matches. It is worrying and we must learn to do that right thing to ensure our game gets to the next level,” he added.
