Ghana football legend, Abedi Pele has voiced his concerns about the state of football in the country.
The three times Africa Footballer of The Year concerns come following Black Stars’ failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament after finishing at the bottom of Group F with three points without a win.
With local football struggling to get the needed attention, Pele, who won the 1982 AFCON tournament with the Black Stars says that the generations gone by cannot be compared to the current state.
He stressed that it is about time the country work hard to put its house to help reshape football in the country.
“I think time changes in all and this, we are talking about three decades,” Pele told the media as reported by Panafricafootball.
“So whatever it is, we shouldn’t look back, we should just look forward and work hard and achieve whatever we want to achieve. What it takes to be a great football team or a great football nation is to work hard and put your house into order to make sure that you get results and that is all that it takes to be a good team all over the world.
“Football is one of the keys to ensure that the teams and the country are united,” he added.
