Ghana's Sports Minister, Kofi Adams, has denied allegations of government interference in the selection of players for the Black Stars national football team. The statement comes after Ghana exited the 2026 FIFA World Cup following a 1-0 defeat to Colombia in the Round of 32.
Adams emphasized that the government respects the autonomy of technical decisions made by the coaching staff and football authorities. He dismissed claims that government officials had influenced player selection, asserting that such matters are the sole responsibility of the technical team.
The minister's comments aim to clarify the government's position amid growing public debate over the team's performance and management structure during the tournament.
