Former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah has labelled Ghana's failure to qualify and challenge for top honours at the youth level as embarrassing.
The former Juventus man appeared before the Parliamentary select committee on Tuesday, as they probed into issues hindering development of Sports in Ghana and providing solutions to curtail them.
Appiah was a member of Ghana's U-17 side who beat Brazil 3-2 in Ecuador's 1995 showpiece to clinch the country's second and last U-17 tournament.
In addressing the steep decline of Ghana football, Appiah cited the Black Starlets failure to qualify for the 2023 U-17 showpiece. "It is really embarrassing that Ghana today we can't qualify to play the Under-17 World Cup.
