The Ghana Football Association says it is looking into claims of corruption against several referees, officials and its president, Kwesi Nyantakeyi. CAF has banned eight more Ghanaian football officials as the fallout from an undercover exposé into widespread corruption continues. Matchday One will draw a line under the unhappiest period in Ghana’s footballing history after an expose that shook the nation to the core. Ghana previous match was against South Korea in International Friendly Games, the match ended with result (South Korea won the match). Ghana are seeking their first continental football title for over four decades at the CAF Africa Cup of Nations 2023 in Côte d’Ivoire.

They therefore addressed petitions to the Governor of the Gold Coast, Sir Charles Arden-Clarke, and the Pioneer Sports Organizer, Joseph Ranadurai, on the maladministration of the Amateur Football Association by Akwei. While the petition was being addressed, Ohene Djan led a „Football Revolution” and succeeded in toppling the Akwei Administration in 1957. As the popularity of the game spread throughout the country, the existing clubs met towards the end of 1930 and elected Richard Maabuo Akwei as their chairman.

In 1982, they unexpectedly won their fourth title after laboring through most of the tournament. In their semi-final match against Algeria, they needed a late-game equalizer to win the match in overtime. Fans of the national team have questioned the construction of Ghana’s squads and starting line-ups. Richard Ofori was Ghana’s goalkeeper for all three group games despite being the third choice for his club side Orlando Pirates. It was Ofori who needlessly gave away a corner in the dying moments against Mozambique that Ghana then conceded from to draw the game and ultimately knock them out of the tournament.

Some of this stems from the treatment of Kevin Prince-Boateng, who was removed from the 2014 World Cup squad before a key game with Portugal after campaigning for better conditions. He found out about this development after opening a letter from the GFA slipped underneath his hotel room door in the middle of the night. With trust eroding, the representatives of some players who have been approached to play for Ghana say their clients are reluctant. Amid all of that, the federation created a football blueprint, which detailed the vision for the next 15 years across all levels. The person who helped produce that was technical director Bernhard Lippert, a German who left his role suddenly at the end of last year.

Yet the talent and sense of brotherhood among the squad was so strong that it didn’t seem to matter.

It was then revealed that the supporters had been promised $400 (£313) each for their 14 days in Abidjan.
