Ex- Ghana and Udinese Calcio star, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu is strongly against the decision of over relying on foreign-based and born players in our youth national teams when the local game is still active and can't produce quality players in recent times.
He made these comments based on lots of factors but the recent one definitely will have to be mainly, on the back of the Black Meteors- who were dominated by foreign-based players but still suffered a group stage eviction at the ongoing Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.
Badu, who was part of Ghana's 2009 U-20 World Cup winning side, was then a home-based player as well as majority part of the team and isn't pleased with the fact that, the indigenous game is struggling to produce proper and qualify talents for various youth national teams.
He's called on the GFA to stand up against this and try as hard as they could to find measures to curb the danger our football could land in.
"The GFA needs to organize an emergency meeting tomorrow and take stock of wats happening. Where our football is heading is dangerous."
"How can we be so over reliant on foreign-born and foreign-based players at youth level. If our local league can't provide players for our youth football, then we are in serious trouble."
Agyemang Badu, 32, enjoyed an incredible nine year spell in the Black Stars with over 70 international appearances, boasting of five AFCON appearances and one at the World Cup which was 2014 in Brazil.
