Football fans in Ghana went all out on Wednesday, February 14, 2024, to save Ghanaian football as they embarked on a peaceful protest from Obra point in the Circle to the Black Stars Squarewhere the majority expressed their dismay at the poor state of football in Ghana.
Reports of this protest have been submitted to the Ghana Football Association, the Ministry of Sports and the Parliament of Ghana to ensure that Ghanaian football is scrutinized in the future. Fans were ready to deliver these applications as they have been waiting for a long time.
The leader of the ‘Save Ghana Football’ protest group managed to get the concerns delivered to some of the football leaders in Ghana. Sports journalists such as Saddick Adams, Veronica Commey and Patrick Osei Agyemang have been integral in voicing these strong concerns surrounding Ghanaian football.
The protesters showed a high level of not giving up as they demonstrated passionately in front of Parliament, demanding that appropriate measures be taken to revive the declining Ghana Football Association.
The Black Stars have been embarrassed in all the tournaments they have entered since 2019, highlighting their key failures at the Africa Cup of Nations.

The senior national team has lost its AFCON identity since it last qualified for the round of 16 in 2017. Since then, the Black Stars have become a group team, leaving them to exist in the group stages of all their tournaments since then 2019.
Following this unacceptable situation, the Kurt Okraku-led Ghana Football Association has decided to organize a five-man committee that is expected to go out and look for a new coach. Kurt’s administration has appointed four coaches since taking over.
This committee looked unstable as football fans are not willing to accept the people who are expected to lead in getting a new Black Stars coach.
