John Paintsil, the former Ghanaian defender, has made a passionate plea to the Ghanaian government, urging them to provide vital support for the development of football in the country.
Paintsil, who had a successful career playing for prominent clubs such as Fulham, Leicester City, and West Ham United, emphasized that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) should not bear the sole responsibility for football development.
In his plea, Paintsil pointed out the recent progress and achievements of other African nations, particularly Senegal and Morocco. By highlighting these countries’ success, he aimed to emphasize the significance of the Ghanaian government’s involvement in the development of football.
“Talking about football development at large, the Ghana Football Association can’t do it alone. “Take a look at how the governments of Morocco and Senegal have supported and contributed to football development in the two countries. I believe the Ghana government is willing to offer support, too,” he said.
