Put Abedi Pele in the right place – Sulley Muntari tells GFA

Former Black Stars midfielder Sulley Muntari has intensified his criticism of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), urging it to involve football legends like Abedi Pele and Tony Yeboah in key administrative roles.

Speaking with 3Sports, Muntari questioned the exclusion of these icons from decision-making processes, arguing that their expertise is essential to revitalize Ghana’s struggling football sector.

Amid a football crisis marked by a failed 2025 AFCON qualification and neglected infrastructure, he emphasized that appointing legends in non-coaching capacities—starting with Abedi Pele at the Ghana Football Association—could help restore the nation's football fortunes.

Muntari’s remarks underscore a growing belief that Ghana’s revival in football hinges on leveraging the wisdom of its experienced icons.
