Annan said he made the observation after his side’s 1-1 draw with Tanzanian club Simba SC in a friendly encounter at the Uhuru Stadium in Dar es Salaam.

“When I look at how organised the Tanzanian league is and when I compare their facilities to ours I feel sad. It is obvious that we are lagging behind in terms of football development in Ghana. There is a lot more to be done as far as development is concerned in Ghana,” he said.
According to the shot stopper, saving a crucial penalty to enable his side to draw 1-1 with the Tanzanian side brought fond memories of his exploits in Zylofon Cash Ghana Premier League and, therefore, expressed the hope the Ghana premiership would be restored to normalcy soon.
“I really missed our league after the match. In fact, I remembered my achievements, especially in the last league, and I wished that those at the helm of affairs will fix the situation to bring back our league,” he told the Graphic Sports.
