Today, a sea of demonstrators flooded the streets of Accra, uniting under the banner of the ‘Save Ghana Football Demonstration’ to demand urgent reforms within the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Led by sports journalists Saddick Adams, Veronica Commey, and Patrick Osei Agyemang aka Countryman Songo, the protest attracted participants from all walks of life, including gospel musicians such as Great Ampong and Nicolas Omane Acheampong.
