President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has sounded the whistle on Ghana's declining sports sector, conceding that the country's sporting excellence has been offside in recent years during his State of the Nation Address speech.
In its heyday, Ghana was a dominant force in international sports, making waves on the African continent and beyond.
Nowadays, Ghana struggles to bring its A-game when it matters most with the recent African Cup of Nations qualifications disaster being the last nail on the coffin.
The country's sporting legacy, once highlighted by Olympic medals, boxing honors, track and field triumphs, and football prowess at both youth and senior levels, has become a distant memory.
