Prosper Harrison Addo, the General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has called on all football stakeholders in Ghana to take full responsibility for the state of the game. He emphasized that for football to be played fairly, everyone involved must treat matches as if they are their own.
Harrison Addo criticized the inconsistency he often sees, noting that while people may make strong statements during radio interviews, they often fail to provide coherent explanations when they appear before the GFA's Disciplinary Committee.
“At committee sittings, I've seen players who come and cry, forgetting what they said on radio,” he remarked at the 2024 Afro Sport Summit. “People say all sorts of things on radio and seem mature about it, but when questioned by the committee, they start crying.”
He also addressed claims from self-proclaimed soothsayers about predicting match scores, saying, “I don't doubt them; I don't worry about them.”
Addo stressed that ensuring fair play in football is a collective responsibility, including that of supporters. “The burden is on all of us,” he said, adding, “Sometimes it's funny to hear club officials criticize the GFA; you are the GFA.”
