Hundreds of football fans took to the streets of Ghana’s capital Accra, demanding better governance for football after their team failed to get out of the group stage at this year’s Africa Cup of Nations.
Clad in black and red T-shirts saying “Save Ghana football” and holding placards, the protesters marched through the main streets to show their frustration over the Black Stars’ poor performances at recent major tournaments.
Ghana, four-times Nations Cup champions but not since 1982, have qualified for four World Cups and reached the quarter-finals in 2010.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) sacked coach Chris Hughton last month after the team finished third in Group B at the Nations Cup with two points in three matches.
The GFA, led by Kurt Okraku, is now recruiting its fifth Blacks Stars coach in five years.
