In reaction to mounting criticism regarding the nation’s lacklustre performance at the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) competition, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced plans to host an interactive session with the media.
The Black Stars’ group stage exit and lack of success in any of the games played in Ivory Coast left supporters furious and demanding answers.
The GFA has invited the media to an interactive event on Wednesday, February 7, 2024, at the Lancaster Hotel in Kumasi, in an effort to allay these worries and offer clarity on the future.
The association’s “MEET THE PRESS” series, started by President Kurt Okraku’s current administration, includes this event.
President Okraku, members of the Executive Council, General Secretary Prosper Harrison Addo, and other important GFA officials will interact with media during the event and address inquiries concerning the Black Stars’ dismal showing at AFCON 2023.
They should also describe the steps being taken to turn around the team’s performance and win back the public’s trust in Ghanaian football.
In recent weeks, the GFA has come under increasing pressure, with some detractors demanding that the organization’s leadership resign and others pressing for extensive internal reforms.
The association is demonstrating its commitment to resolving the problems ailing Ghanaian football and moving towards increased accountability and transparency by hosting this interactive session.
Promptly starting at 9 am, the event is anticipated to go for several hours, providing journalists with plenty of opportunity to ask questions and get information from the GFA hierarchy.
The association’s relationship with the media, which has occasionally been strained recently due to a perceived lack of access and communication, has taken a positive turn with this development.
