GFA leadership must be blamed for Ghana's football woes - Majeed Waris [Video]
Majeed Waris, a former Ghana international striker, attributed the challenges facing Ghana football to the leadership of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), insisting that the problems go beyond the players on the pitch. His comments followed the Black Stars' elimination from the ongoing 2026 FIFA World Cup after a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in their Round of 32 encounter. Jhon Arias scored the only goal of the game in the first half, sending the four-time African champions out of the competition.
Head coach Carlos Queiroz, appointed on a short-term basis, expressed doubts about continuing with the project and called for a better working environment and improved conditions. Waris backed Queiroz's concerns, stating, "Carlos Queiroz has been with the Black Stars for just four months, and he delivered such a heavy statement. It's not about players; it's about who is in charge." Ghana's World Cup performance represented a positive step, with the team reaching the knockout stage for the first time.
