Black Stars sluggish performance criticized by MP Patrick Yaw Boamah

Member of Parliament for Okaikwei Central, Patrick Yaw Boamah, has criticised Black Stars players for failing to replicate club-level performance when playing for Ghana.

The current playing squad has been under intense scrutiny for failing to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.

Ghana finished at the bottom of its group after recording three defeats and three draws.

Speaking on the Floor of Parliament on Wednesday, the MP expressed his support for the team while stressing the importance of qualification.

“We wish the National team the very best, and we ask the technical team, the management team, and the executive committee of the National Football Association to put in everything that is required of them to ensure that we garner all six points needed to cushion us enough,” he said.

“It’s not reasonable, it doesn’t sit well with us for a team like Comoros to be beating us back to back… I don’t understand.”

“Honorable Haruna Iddrisu’s Steadfast team in Tamale can beat Comoros, why not our national team? So they need to be serious! With the kind of players… and look at the game time they have in Europe, Bournemouth’s Semenyo, Sulemana at Southampton, Partey, a regular at Arsenal, Jordan Ayew at Leicester, Kudus at West Ham, they’re all top-class players. But when they come here, we don’t see the commitment in them, and that is what hurts Ghanaians.”

The Black Stars currently share the top spot with Comoros, both on nine points from four matches.
