Cooperate entities should support our football

Legendary Ghanaian captain and former Hearts of Oak player Stephen Appiah has disclosed that football in Ghana lacks support from the cooperate bodies in the country.

Speaking to Rainbow Sports’ Isaac Wallace, he insisted that foreign football has developed due to the support gain from the companies in their country.

“Companies in our country should involve themselves in our football. Looking at foreign football, it is growing because of the support they gain from their companies,” he said.

Ghana football hasn’t attained its deserved standard because it lacks our companies’ involvement and financial support.

To him, “Companies in the country have money that they can finance football in Ghana. The Ghana Football Association and the Regional Football Association aren’t the only ones to promote and develop our football,” he added.

He stated that these companies should also help in building infrastructure that will help develop players.

“I think the building of pitches can help the poor needed kids who have the talent to also help develop their talent well. Looking at someone like Dr Daniel Mckorley(McDaniel of Companies) who have built football pitch with which teams are enjoying,” he stated.

He concluded that he(Appiah) enjoyed these infrastructures, and now I am a legend of the country.

“I have enjoyed from such infrastructures which have helped me a lot, and I am back to help the society. I can tell you that doing football isn’t easy at all,” he said.
