Augustine Arhinful has aired fears through the many management committees supervising the national teams, advocating for their disbandment.
With each national team presently functioning under an assigned management committee, however, the former Ghana international accepts this framework and structure is impeding the progress of Ghana football.
“Instead of having separate management teams for all the national teams, I think we need to move away from that approach. It’s high time we established a proper structure so that, for example, when the U-20 team is playing, two or three people can be appointed to oversee it,” he told Happy FM.
He also mentioned how inclusion in these numerous committees repeatedly dampens enthusiasm among members from gripping the Ghana FA liable.
“It’s as if no one can speak up. If the FA is doing something wrong, they remain silent because they want to stay on the management team,” he added.
Meanwhile in January this year, the FA announced a new Black Stars Management Committee which includes Dr. Randy Abbey as Chairman, responsible for leading engagement with the government and other stakeholders.
Samuel Aboabire, Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association and member of the GFA Executive Council, along with Moses Armah, President of Medeama Sporting Club, will oversee operations and matchday activities, ensuring smooth management of sponsor, partner, and collaborator relations. Richard Nsenkyire, President of FC Samartex 1996, will handle special duties within the committee.
