Ghana football is in dangerous times, says former Black Stars midfielder Emmanuel Agyemang-Badu

Former Black Stars midfielder, Emmanuel Agyemang Badu has expressed concern about the decline of football in the country.

Badu's comment comes following the Black Meteors' early exit from the 2023 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations (AFCON) which is currently happening in Morocco.

Ghana amassed four points from three group games but failed to advance to the knockout stage to extend our Olympics drought which has already stood for twenty years.

In the last sixteen months, Ghana has failed to surpass the group stages of every major tournament the country has played in at levels as far as the men's national teams are concerned.

According to him, he is devasted by how the Ghanaian game continues to deteriorate.

He added is in dangerous times and has to be checked as soon as possible to ensure it is back like it use to be.

“When I talk, I don’t get anything from it, but I’m talking because the sport that gave me something, is about to die and I can’t just look on,” he told Joy FM.

“The GFA needs to organize an emergency meeting tomorrow and take stock of what’s happening. Where our football is heading is dangerous.

“Ghana football is in dangerous times. If care isn’t taken, in a couple of years, qualification to major competitions may become problematic," he added.

Agyemang Badu enjoyed a nine-year stay with the Black Stars where he made over 70 appearances, with five AFCON appearances and one at the World Cup.

Also, he was an integral member of the Black Satellites that won the FIFA U-20 World Cup in 2009
