Sonnie Badu says the GFA must account to Ghanaians after the Black Stars’ World Cup outing
Pastor and gospel musician Sonnie Badu has called on the Ghana Football Association to account to Ghanaians following the Black Stars’ disappointing exit from the 2026 FIFA World Cup after managing just one win in the tournament.
In a post shared on his Instagram page on July 6, 2026, he argued that the football governing body owes the public an explanation, especially after appealing to Ghanaians for support and financial backing ahead of the competition.
According to Sonnie Badu, Ghanaians rallied behind the national team in good faith, making it only appropriate for the association to openly address what went wrong instead of remaining silent.
“Personally, I believe the Ghana Football Association owes us some answers. Before the tournament, they rallied the nation for support and funding, which we provided. Now that things didn’t go as planned, it’s only fair that they explain what happened. No insults, no disrespect, just honest answers. I think it’s time for a press conference with top sports journalists,” he wrote.

Beyond the team’s performance, the gospel musician also addressed the ongoing debate surrounding Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew, who has come under criticism from sections of football fans over his regular place in the starting lineup.
While many supporters have questioned why Jordan Ayew continues to start matches and have called for him to be dropped to the bench, Sonnie Badu suggested there may be reasons beyond what supporters see on the pitch.
He explained that the repeated trust shown in the forward by successive national team coaches could be a reflection of his discipline, tactical awareness and willingness to execute instructions.
“As a critical thinker. It seems to me that many coaches adore Jordan because he’s a team player who takes instructions well. But have you ever stopped to think that maybe he’s just doing what he’s told? I know we’re in Ghana, and football is a big deal here, but let’s be real, our opinions can change quickly. One day we love you, the next day we hate you,” he added.
