The lawmaker, like every Ghanaian was unhappy with the performance of the Black Stars at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations and want the FA and other stakeholders to as a matter of urgency deliberate on how to steer the sport from its abysmal state.

He advised the Ghana Football Association to pull the plugs on the World Cup play-off if that is how the team is going to perform.
Collins Adomako Mensah recommends the institution of long-term plans that will lead to the production of world class football talents for the country.
“This is our worst performance as a country. I don’t recall when Ghana competed in AFCON, played three matches and won none. Comoros does not come near Ghana in terms of football and I was surprised yesterday with the kind of play that we had. We’ve to be frank with ourselves, it’s the worst we’ve seen.
“The authorities and management of our football should sit up. If this is what we intend to send to the world cup then the authorities should think twice.
