Dr. Richard Duah Nsenkyire, the owner and financier of FC Samartex, has urged for significant reforms within Ghana’s national football teams following the Black Galaxies’ disappointing 0-0 draw against their opponents in the first leg of the 2024 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifiers on Sunday at the Accra Sports Stadium.
In an interview with Asempa FM’s Ultimate Sports Show, Dr. Nsenkyire stressed that while the female national teams have shown commendable performances, the male teams, including the Black Galaxies, are in need of serious changes to improve their results.
“The various national teams need reforms. It is about doing the right things,” he said. “Should the Black Galaxies fail to qualify, what happens to the players?”
He also acknowledged the success of Ghana’s female teams but highlighted the struggles of the male teams. “For the female teams, it seems they are doing well but the male national teams have failed, and I believe that the Executive Council are working to ensure that we perform,” Dr. Nsenkyire added.
The Black Galaxies will travel to the Godswill Akpabio Stadium for the return leg on Saturday, December 28. The winner of this tie will secure a spot in next year’s CHAN tournament, which will be co-hosted by Kenya, Uganda, and Tanzania.
