Former Ghana FA vice-president Afriyie criticises current administration for impacting Black Stars call-ups

The football governing body has been advised to give CK Akonnor a free hand as head coach of the Black Stars

Former Ghana Football Association vice-president George Afriyie has called on the current leadership to desist from influencing call-ups to the Black Stars.

Player selection into the national set-up has become a major topic of discussion after a controversy broke following the announcement of a 29-man squad for last month’s 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying matches against South Africa and Sao Tome and Principe.

The call-up of Colchester United attacker Kwame Afriyie Poku, who plays in the English fourth division, generated the most questions.
