A former interim boss of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Dr. Kofi Amoah is pushing for the $25 million intended to be invested into the Black Stars to be used to develop the local league.
Ahead of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and 2022 World Cup tournaments, the government has planned to raise $25 million to cushion the male national team to succeed.
Sharing his thoughts on whether it is the right approach, business mogul Dr. Kofi Amoah has taken an opposition stance while insisting that the money should be used to develop the local league instead.
“No! Strengthen your local league, starting from juvenile football, Samuel Osei Kuffour, Michael Essien all of these people, this is where they got their strength,” he said in an interview with Bernard Avle on Citi Tv
Dr. Kofi Amoah continued, “When the Germans saw that their football is going at down hill they said time out, we need to think, it took them 11 years but they won the world cup in Brazil.
“ Ghana can win the world cup because we have the talents but the organization of the approach is the wrong one and I hope that my friends at the Ghana football association (GFA) are not going to be angry with me and fix it.”
The views shared by Dr. Kofi Amoah has been backed by the majority of Ghanaians and football enthusiast as well.
