Black Stars captain, Andre Ayew has finally yielded to an invitation from the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports to shed light on Ghana’s botched AFCON 2021 campaign in Cameroon and also help the committee find solutions to some of the problems in the team.
The Black Stars captain was originally summoned/invited by the parliamentary select committee in February 2022 after the AFCON but he was unable to appear before the committee due to his engagements at club level in Qatar.
Now on vacation, the player has availed himself to the committee as expected.
Andre Ayew who plays his football for Al Sadd in the Qatari league appeared before the Parliamentary select committee for Sports on Thursday, June 23, 2022.
Ghana’s senior national team recorded their worst performance in history at the AFCON as they exited the competition at the group stages without winning a match.
The Black Stars lost their first match to Morocco by 1-0 before drawing 1-1 with Gabon and later lost by 3-2 to Comoros.
The Black Stars’ abysmal performance at the tournament became a huge worry and issue for discussion in parliament as the team failed to accomplish the set target of ending Ghana’s 40-years wait for the prestigious African title.
The parliament of Ghana after their deliberations at the chamber in February 2022, set up a committee to investigate what resulted in Ghana’s poor show at the tournament hosted in Cameroon.
Other people who were summoned to appear before the select committee included the Ministry of Youth and Sports, the National Sports Authority, and the Ghana FA.
Details of the meeting remain sketchy with the committee expected to release a report on their various meetings soon.
