Nkonkonsa Celebrity Gossip From Africa
Kennedy Agyapong has criticized the Black Stars’ managers in relation to how events led to their terrible performance in the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The unconventional politician who wants to lead the nation as president highlighted concerns about the Ghana Football Association’s present structure, which allows owners and executives of certain teams to hold elected office.
He claims that he is convinced that the current practice poses a serious obstacle to the game’s national expansion.
Kennedy Agyapong claimed that the game needs to be reformed and reformatted if Ghanaian football is to advance in a speech to some NPP supporters about his aspirations for football should he win the presidency.
Kennedy Agyapong mentioned a defender who had a terrible record but was chosen for the 2022 World Cup thanks to his connections with the FA.
The Assin Central MP asserted that the coach chose to keep the player instead of choosing Tariq Lamptey or Gideon Mensah for the position for reasons that are best known to him.
“They claim we can’t interfere but if you want sports to develop, that must happen. I don’t see why team owners should be part of the GFA. One of the defenders performed poorly. He was a complete flop. I won’t mention his name but he was atrocious.
“We had players like Lamptey and Gideon Mensah and they benched him. Mensah was a very confident player but was benched. Lamptey added pace to the team but was benched. It’s because owners of the teams wanted their players to play. We need to get an independent body to manage the football,” he said.
