Kurt Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association, has urged fans to stop abusing national team players when things go wrong.
The Black Stars at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations tournament in Ivory Coast, faced serious criticism as a result of their abysmal performance when the team exited the competition at the group stage.
In the ongoing African Games, Black Princesses striker Abdulai Mukarama was booed by fans at the Cape Coast Stadium, an unfortunate situation the President of the FA, has seriously condemned.
The FA boss in a social media post also cited an instance where Black Stars left-back Abdul Baba Rahman who similarly booed at the Baba Yara Stadium in one of the Black Stars qualifying games.
Below is the Ghana FA President’s post on Facebook:
THIS MUST STOP!
We are a football loving country. A country that traditionally supports and loves our players in good times and in bad times.
Ghana is not a football country that is hostile to its players.
However in recent times, a bad culture seem to be gaining grounds where a few of our fans boo our national players. I mean players who volunteer to represent our country.
This is NOT Ghana and this culture has to be rejected.
In recent times , some of our players including Abdul Baba Rahman and from yesterday’s game in cape coast, striker Mukarama Abdulai (black Princesses)have been booed by some few Ghanaian football fans.
My appeal is that let’s stay together as Ghanaians at all times and let’s support our players in good times and in bad times.
This is NOT a good habit!!!!
