The Asantehene, Otumfuo Nana Osei Tutu II, has called on Sports and Recreation Minister, Kofi Adams, to ensure fairness in player selections for the Black Stars.
Otumfuo made these remarks during Kofi Adams’ visit to the Manhyia Palace on Friday, February 14.
Expressing his concerns over the decline of Ghana’s senior national team in recent years, he attributed the struggles to nepotism within the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
“The Black Stars have been disgraceful these days. You have to get the Black Stars on the winning track,” Otumfuo challenged Kofi Adams.
“Make sure the technical team invites players who deserve to be in the national team. No other person should be allowed to bring their players to the team.”
Ghana’s football fortunes have dwindled following consecutive underwhelming performances at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The Black Stars recently failed to qualify for the 2025 edition in Morocco, marking another setback for the team.
Despite this, the team will have an opportunity to bounce back when they face Chad and Madagascar in their upcoming 2026 World Cup qualifiers in March.
