Ghana President, Nana Akufo-Addo, has advised the Ghana Football Association and the Sports Ministry to not interfere in the selection of players before the World Cup in Qatar.
Otto Addo is expected to name his preliminary squad for the 2022 World Cup on Friday.
The FA president, Kurt Okraku, and the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif paid a courtesy call on Nana Akufo-Addo at the Jubilee house on Thursday, where he admonished them to allow the coach to do his work.
“Having chosen the technical team, I will also implore you, to leave them to do their work. I think the people who run football clubs know what it is required of a good coach. He takes the responsibility, if he doesn’t you know what to do with him,” the President told Mr. Okraku.
“What is always a problem is the minister saying, this person should play, and saying the president says I should tell you this player has to play. No, we don’t want any of that,” he added.
