Former Youth And Sports Minister Calls For Discipline In Ghana Football

Former Youth and Sports minister Yaw Osafo Marfo has called on Football Authorities to inculcate discipline in the development of the game of football in the country.

According to the former Akyem Oda MP, under whose tenure Ghana sealed qualification to the World Cup for the first time in Germany in 2006, the country is going to be in distress if discipline is not maintained in football in the country.

The former minister who doubles as a lawyer has therefore called on the minister Hon. Elvis Afriyie Ankrah together with his officials to ensure they maintain the attitude of discipline in players in order to push football in the country forward.

“Football must have discipline. Discipline in the team, discipline in the supporters, discipline in the management. There should be discipline. If you do not have discipline you are going to be in serious trouble, and therefore it is important that the minister is able to keep discipline. So he and his officials should be disciplined themselves to be able to make up discipline into the players”, he told Power FM.

The minister also went on to call on the Black Stars players to give in their best at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.

“We should always make the players understand that being selected to go to the World Cup is a privilege for you to make a mark in the World. Ghana is giving you the opportunity to shine and to make money and to become powerful in your own rights, and therefore you should make sure that you will bring all your best.” he said.

Ghana is expected to make a huge impact in the Global soccer mundial after registering their name in the Golden books of World football following their excellent performance at the 2010 World Cup being the only African team to get the quarter final stage of the competition.
