George Afriyie, a former Ghana Football Association vice president has called for togetherness to enable the Black Stars to annex the upcoming 2021 Africa Cup of Nations trophy.
Ghana have been struggling to end its 38 years Afcon trophy drought after winning it in 1982.
Afriyie however, beleives the reason the country has failed to win any major trophy is due to the division in the country which stems from partisan politics.
According to the 2019 GFA Presidential election aspirant, football and sports, in general, must be devoid of any political influence in order to create a serene environment for success.
“We have allowed the two political parties to involve themselves too much in our football," he told Kumasi based Nhyira FM.
"We need the NPP and NDC governments in our game but it is not healthy to allow them to be dominant in our sporting arena.
"As one faction prays for glory, the other faction is against it, it is not helping," he added.
Ghana have booked their ticket for the 2021 AFCON to be staged next year in Cameroon as they seek to win their fifth title.
