The Chairman for the Parliamentary Committee for Sports and Culture, Hon. Johnson Kwaku Adu, says the proposed meeting to discuss Ghana’s abysmal performance at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations will help Ghana’s preparations for the 2022 World Cup play-offs against Nigeria.
The Parliamentary Select Committee will today, Wednesday February 16, commence investigations into the country’s poor showing at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
The Black Stars exited the competition in the group stage with just a point.
Speaking in an interview on Happy Sports with Ohene-Bampoe Brenya, the member of parliament for Ahafo Ano South explained the need for the committee to carry out investigations to unravel the poor performance exhibited by the team and the way forward.
“When we arrived from the AFCON our ranking member commented on the abysmal performance of the Black Stars. So, the Speaker made a referral to the Committee and we have also sent letters to the stakeholders to meet the committee to explain why the poor performance at the AFCON”.
“The meeting starts tomorrow with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, followed by the National Sports Authority (NSA), Ghana Football Association (GFA), Captain of the Black Stars Andre Ayew and other stakeholders.
“We will also be meeting the NSA on their duties and their roles to execute. The NSA is not playing their supervisory role well. This meeting will help in our preparations for the Nigeria game. It will keep the various stakeholders on their toes”, he added.
