Ghana football has become political - Harry Zakour

Celebrated former Hearts of Oak chairman Harry Zakkour says Ghana football has now turned into politics since the appointment of the Normalization Committee by FIFA to manage football activities in the country.

According to him, genuine football people have been sidelined by the government with politicians being appointed to serve on the various committees of the Normalisation Committee.

He, however, wants the likes Sam Brew Butler, Ade Coker and MND Jawula with their rich experience in football administration to serve as counsellors to the GFA in their bid to return Ghana Football to normalcy.

He says ‘’Ghana football has to turn into politics, not because I’m an NDC ex-chairman. ‘’When I look at things now, all their appointments have to turn into politics. ”There are a lot of people who can help build it but don’t want to get involved because it’s been turned into a political team.

Zakour further said in an interview with KUMASI FM 104.1MHZ. ”The government should not mingle politics with football but rather invite the people who are not involved in politics to work.

"I shouldn’t be sidelined because I’m an NDC because of my record in football. I’ve done football since childhood and no one can break my record.

The likes of Sam Brew Butler, Ade Coker and MND Jawula should be advisors to the GFA. ”We should put politics aside and look for people who want to do football.”
