Former Black Stars player and U-20 World Cup winner, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu, has joined the growing chorus of concern over the state of football in Ghana.

Agyemang Badu expressed alarm at the continuous decline of the game in the country with each passing year.

In an interview with Joy FM, Badu emphasized the urgent need for the Ghana Football Association to address the concerning issues plaguing Ghanaian football. He called for immediate action to be taken to revive and rejuvenate the sport in the country.

“When I talk, I don’t get anything from it, but I’m talking because the sport that gave me something, is about to die and I can’t just look on,” he said.

“The GFA needs to organize an emergency meeting tomorrow and take stock of what’s happening. Where our football is heading is dangerous.

“Ghana football is in dangerous times. If care isn’t taken, in a couple of years, qualification to major competitions may become problematic," he said.

The recent disappointment of Ghana's U-23 national team, the Black Meteors, being eliminated from the ongoing U-23 Africa Cup of Nations after a draw against Guinea further highlighted the pressing issues.
