Former Ghana international Osei Kuffour has lamented that Ghana football is gradually dying. Kuffour speaking on SuperSport as a panel, said the nation lacked the vision for development and planning.
“Our football is dying. We lack planning and we have no backup for our current players. We have no youth development. Our future is dead, with this attitude. I see no reason why we can’t build our team from the youth level”, he said.
“Germany decided to win the world cup in ten (10) years, and in ten years they won the World Cup in Brazil. Why can’t we plan and do same. What would happen in the absence of Gyan, Dede, Jordan and Atsu? There is no plan and future for our football”, he added.
Kuffour, who is now a pundit on SuperSport, played for Ghana at the youth levels through to the senior level.

During your time as a player in black stars, Sammy Kuffour, what were your achievement? Poor performance, you were fired from camp, accused of taking bribe etc. Stop the noise.
@yensiamoa or whatever u call yourself, you see how politics has divided us as a country. you cant say something without the usual blame games of NDC/NPP. If you have no sensible comment to post here, then please stop spreading the NDC/NPP politricks which is dividing the country. What do you know about economics to talk about "milking a country dry".
Kufour keep quiet and check it from your government in power now. They have politised the team and now look at what has happened even we could not win bronze. Shame unto you, go and show your defeat to all die be die president Akuffo Addo.
Ghana woes started from the periods the AFRC/PNDC/NDC were in power. NDC, under Mahama, is the worst among the governments in Ghana history. The propaganda machinery of the NDC was so powerful to bewitch the people of Ghana that they have destroyed every good thing in Ghana. As at now, the Ministry of Sports owes a debt of $20,000,000.00(20 Million Dollars). Every ministry owes a debt. The NDC government has 'milked' Ghana dry. ***barred word*** STILL FOLLOW NDC PARTY
It's Kuffour just realized the dying state of Ghana football. It started way back in his days. When as a player he felt so big that he was instigating his junior colleagues to boycott a match at AFCON; a behavior that got him expelled from the Black Stars camp. Nyantankyi and his ilk are corrupt and have taken bad decisions at time for sure but indiscipline and lack of patriotism on the part of some of the players in the Black Stars Ido not help. The fruits of the seed that Kuffour and others sowed is what we are reaping now.
We need a reshuffle at the GFA, everybody must go, including the old players. Nyantekyi is trying to be like the CAF President and Mugabe, enough is enough. Even Mahama has been kicked out. It's better for us to win the AFCON Cup than going to world cup to disgrace ourselves. Please Mr. GFA President Step Down.
