In an interview on Asempa FM’s, the NSA boss revealed that, “The NSA will face the Parliamentary select committee together with the GFA to state the causes of Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup,CHAN,preparations towards the AWCON ,way forward for Ghana football and other related issues”.
The senior national team ,Black Stars ,failed to qualify for the 2018 World Cup following a poor qualification campaign, which culminated in just one win in six group games.
Ghana’s bid for a fourth successive World Cup appearance was subsequently halted, with Egypt topping Group E and picking the ticket to the Mundial.
The Black Stars ‘B’ also failed to qualify for the 2018 Championship of African Nations (CHAN) once again after succumbing to a shock 2-1 loss at home to Burkina Faso .
Ghana secured the hosting rights to the 2018 edition of the eighth -nation competition last year.
The GFA was unable to appear before the Parliamentary Select committee on sports as scheduled earlier due to their heavily involvement in the 2017 CAF Awards which was held in Ghana.
