The President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama, has directed his office and the Sports Minister to ensure that the Ghana Football Association is accountable to the people of Ghana.
According to him, there must be no secrecy in budgetary allocations to the Black Stars and any other national team.
He explains that the people of Ghana are the ones that pay the players and therefore must be made to know how much of their taxes go into the black stars.
Delivering his first state of the nation address, the president noted that the Black Stars is now a pale shadow of itself. "There will be no secrecy in how much the government spends on the national teams; I have directed that the GFA be held accountable," Mahama stated in his State of the Nation Address on Thursday, February 27, 2025. "Government is committed to refurbishing existing sports stadia and building more youth resource centres," he stated, emphasizing the need to develop local talent and restore Ghana's reputation in sports.
