Anyone who says Ghana fooball is in a good state is a liar- Agyemang Badu admit

Former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu says the sorry state of Ghana football is evident.

He expressed this sentiment as he endorsed the #SaveGhanaFootball demonstration, which aims to advocate for positive changes in the sport.

The protest, aimed at seeking reforms to revive Ghana football, took place on February 14, 2024. The protesters submitted a 15-point petition to Ghana’s lawmakers suggesting ways to ‘save Ghana football’

Agyemang-Badu, renowned for his role in Ghana’s U-20 World Cup triumph in 2009, believes the demonstration is a step in the right direction.

“Have you seen Tamale Park,” he quizzed on UTV referring to the substandard state of sports facilities.

“We need to seek answers to some of these questions. The demonstrators didn’t go there to attack anyone. There are suggesting things that are very important for football and I support them.

The former Udinese midfielder highlighted the importance of investing in grassroots football, drawing on his personal experience of being discovered through interschool competitions.

“I was discovered by a teacher through interschools. So what is wrong if someone says invest in inter-school football?”
