The President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, says the culture of booing national team players is not part of Ghana’s football culture.
He is saying this after Ghana U20 women’s player, Mukarama Abdulai, was booed on Tuesday night during their African Games 2-1 win over Tanzania at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium.
It is not just Mukarama; Abdul Baba Rahman was booed at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium months back during a Black Stars AFCON qualifier.
Also in Kumasi, Jordan Ayew was also booed during a Black Stars game.
This has forced the President of the GFA to take to social media to urge fans not to boo players at the stadia.
“We are a football-loving country. A country that traditionally supports and loves our players in good times and in bad times. Ghana is not a football country that is hostile to its players,” wrote Okraku.
“However, in recent times, a bad culture seems to be gaining ground where a few of our fans boo our national players. I mean players who volunteer to represent our country.
“This is NOT Ghana and this culture has to be rejected. In recent times, some of our players including Abdul Baba Rahman and from yesterday’s game in Cape Coast, striker Mukarama Abdulai (Black Princesses) have been booed by some few Ghanaian football fans.
“My appeal is that let’s stay together as Ghanaians at all times and let’s support our players in good times and in bad times. This is NOT a good habit!!!!”
