Kwesi Nyantakyi, former president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has called for an official apology to be issued to the Ghanaian public in the aftermath of the Black Stars’ untimely exit from the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

This marks the second consecutive group stage elimination for the four-time African champions under the leadership of the current GFA administration headed by Kurt Okraku.

The team’s lackluster performances have ignited frustration among fans and stakeholders alike.

Speaking on GTV Sports Plus, Nyantakyi emphasized the accountability of the GFA to the nation. “The national team does not belong to the Football Association; they are keeping it for the state, and the government provides funds for the FA to take care of the team,” he stated.

Nyantakyi, who served as the GFA president, drew parallels to his tenure, highlighting the importance of issuing apologies in the face of disappointment. “We apologized in 2010 and 2015 after we failed to win the AFCON,” he recalled.

After the early AFCON departure, the GFA acted irrationally, firing coach Chris Hughton and appointing Mark Addo as the chairman of a five-member committee to oversee the hunt for a new head coach.

As Ghana reflects on the disappointing tournament, Nyantakyi’s call for accountability resonates, emphasizing the need for the GFA to acknowledge and address the concerns of the passionate football-loving nation.
