No. The bigger question is, would the GFA put the suggestions they receive to use? Because they\u2019ve shown in the past that they only do what they want and what they want alone,\u201d he questioned.  <\/p>\n<p>With the GFA summoning Black Stars Head Coach Otto Addo to a meeting next week, fans and stakeholders are waiting patiently on Otto Addo\u2019s state while also keeping an eye on a possible opportunity to contribute to rebuilding Ghanaian football that many fans believe has deteriorated significantly in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>Ghana finished bottom for the first time ever in an AFCON qualifying group as they picked up just three points from six games while also failing to record a victory at home. This comes after successive AFCON group stage exits in 2021 and 2023 where Ghana failed to win any of their group games.<\/p>\n<p>FKA\/BB<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bishop Atta Poku, Sports Journalist Ace sports journalist Atta Poku has questioned the Ghana Football Association&#8217;s (GFA) plan to host a retreat with stakeholders in Ghana&#8217;s football sphere.
