In the aftermath of the Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) 2023 tournament, frustrated Ghanaian football fans and sports journalists have organized protests to express their dissatisfaction with the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) mismanagement of the sport.

The demonstrations come as journalists and fans alike voice their concerns over the handling of football in the country by the GFA. The disappointment stems from the fact that the Ghana national team, known as the Black Stars, has failed to advance past the group stage in consecutive Afcon tournaments.

In the 2023 edition held in Cote d’Ivoire, the Black Stars were unable to progress beyond the group stage. This repeated failure follows their early exit in the group stage of the 2021 Afcon tournament held in Cameroon.

Ghana’s disappointing performance in the tournament included a loss to Morocco, a draw with Gabon, and a defeat in their final group stage match against Comoros, resulting in their elimination.

The protests serve as a clear message to the GFA and football authorities in Ghana that significant reforms are urgently needed. Fans and journalists are demanding improved management, stronger development programs, and increased accountability within the football association.

The passionate supporters of Ghanaian football hope that these demonstrations will bring about positive change and lead to a brighter future for the national team. They believe that with the right reforms in place, Ghana can regain its position as a powerhouse in African football and once again compete at the highest level on the continent.
