GFA ExCo member Oduro Sarfo has advised former footballers to better themselves academically if they want to be eligible for leadership roles in Ghana football.
Sarfo's statements were in response to those made by Stephen Appiah, a former Black Stars captain, about football management in Ghana.
Speaking on Sompa FM the former midfielder said football should be run by footballers.
“Legends and former players are not getting the chance around football administration. I have learned something, that football is run by footballers. It is not the grammar or English that you speak,”
However, Sarfo disagreed with Appiah's statement and used Samuel Eto'o who is now Fecafoot's President as an example.
“Samuel Eto’o is the FA president for Cameroon. He needed to go to school so he can better himself academically. He joined associations that are affiliated with their FA before making plans to contest. If Stephen Appiah wants to play a key role or wants to lead the GFA, he needs to have better academic knowledge and certificates,” he told Onua FM.
