Black Stars should be disbanded with GFA officials sacked - Sam George

The Minister of Communications, Digital Technology and Innovations, Samuel Nartey George, has called for the dissolution of the Black Stars following the team’s recent struggles.

He stated that his position on the team’s performances remains the same since he called them out after they failed to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).

The outspoken minister insisted that the government should take the bold step of dismissing the Ghana Football Association (GFA) officials, regardless of the consequences the nation may face from FIFA.

Sam George asserted that reforming the GFA would be the best option at the moment to properly restructure the team and regain the love of Ghanaians.

“As for the Black Stars, my position before is my position today. Disband the team. Sack the FA. Let FIFA ban us for 2 years. Take the time to properly rebuild the team. Truth hurts, but the patchwork is worse. Cheers,” he wrote on his X page after the Black Stars’ 4-2 defeat to The Gambia at the Accra Sports Stadium.

This comes as there have been calls on the government to dissolve the GFA and the Black Stars, regardless of the repercussions, to revamp football activities in the country.

Following the two consecutive defeats, Côte d'Ivoire and The Gambia lead Group C with six points each, while Ghana and Somalia lie at the bottom with zero points after two games.
