Some Ghanaians are calling for the complete overhaul of the Black Stars after the team drew 1-1 against Congo in Kumasi and despite winning in Brazzaville in the reverse fixture, Kwesi Appiah has been urged to axe some of the key elements of the team, moving forward.
As the search for a lasting solution for the Black Stars is on, the board chairman of Bofoakwa and the former National Organiser of the NDC who was part of the management team during the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil has made claims that the major challenge confronting the senior national male football team of Ghana is politicization.

“Our boys in the national team including Asamoah Gyan, the Ayew brothers, my own nephew Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu (who has been overlooked) and Wakaso and the others must stop the politicization of the Black Stars,” he fumed
“If not, Kwesi Appiah should not call any of them. What I have heard is that my own nephew Asamoah Gyan calls President Akufo Addo because he is his friend.
“Then Dede and his brother also call former President John Mahama. How can you play any productive football with these mindset?
“You could clearly see the last time that they avoided passing the ball to each other. They are toiling with our heart!
“There is an iota of truth in what I am hearing and its best they put a stop to it. Politics is gaining roots in the national team.They are professionals and should leave the politics for us.

“Even those of us who are engaged in politics and football administrations at the same time don’t get the two mixed up.”
