Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has described Ghana’s participation in the 2014 World Cup as the worst campaign.
Having impressed in 2006 and 2010 in Germany and South Africa respectively, Ghanaians were expecting the Black Stars to put up a perfect performance but shockingly exited the tournament at the group phase without a win.
Ghana picked just a point after three games under the auspices of Mr Nyantakyi as the GFA boss.
However, in an interview with Kings TV, Mr Nyantakyi touched on multiple issues connected to the Black Stars.
He said “2006 was successful, and 2010 was also very successful. The most unsuccessful one was in 2014; there were a lot of problems.
“Money to be given to the players were released from the Bank of Ghana into the Ministry of Youth and Sports account but releasing the money to the players became contentious.”
