You will be foolish to defend GFA's decision to use Black Stars coach's residence as a technical directorate office - George Afriyie
George Afriyie has strongly criticised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over its decision to convert the official residence of the Black Stars head coach into a technical directorate office. The controversy follows revelations by Sheikh Tophic Sienu, a Senior Communications Officer of the GFA, that the five-bedroom property in Accra's Airport Residential Area has been repurposed for administrative use. George Afriyie, speaking on Asempa FM's Ultimate Sports Show, stated, "You will be foolish to defend the Ghana Football Association's decision to use Black Stars coach's official residence as a technical directorate office, and anyone who defends this act is foolish. I stand by my words."
The development has triggered widespread debate, with sections of the public urging authorities to ensure newly appointed Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz is allocated the facility. However, the move has received backing from GFA Executive Council member Nana Oduro Sarfo, who defended the decision in an interview with Adom FM's Dwaso Nsem.
Reports indicate that Carlos Queiroz, who has signed a short-term four-month contract, is expected to stay in a hotel ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
