Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Ibrahim Sannie Daara, has called for greater honesty and transparency in the administration of Ghanaian football, stressing that these values are crucial for the sport’s growth.
Speaking on Sports Nite on Asempa FM, Sannie Daara voiced his frustration over the unfair treatment of individuals who have made significant contributions to Ghanaian football.
“It’s painful—very painful—how people who have helped Ghana football are being treated badly. If we want football to grow, we must put things together and do the right things,” he stated.
He also criticised poor officiating in local leagues, emphasizing that biased and inconsistent refereeing hinders the game’s development.
“The bad officiating we see in our leagues is unacceptable. Referees must be fair and professional in their duties. Football can’t develop when officiating is full of errors and bias,” he added.
His remarks come at a time when Ghana’s football administration is under intense scrutiny, with increasing calls for reforms to promote fairness, accountability, and professionalism.
As stakeholders continue to push for improvements, Sannie Daara’s message serves as a strong reminder that the future of Ghanaian football depends on the integrity and fairness of its administrators, referees, and decision-makers.
