Some protesters at the ‘Save Ghana Football' demonstrations have called on football authorities to vacate their positions if they can't fix the Black Stars.
The Black Stars exiting at the group stage of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations is the third time in consecutive major tournaments that the team has failed to progress from the first round.
The Kurt Okraku-led Ghana Football Association is searching for a fifth Black Stars coach since coming into office five years ago.
The demonstration is currently ongoing after it started at the Obra Spot at the Kwame Nkrumah Interchange in Accra.
The protesters will pass through Asylum Down, the Greater Accra Regional Hospital and present a petition at Ghana Football Association headquarters.
They will then proceed to do same at the Parliament of Ghana before ending the protest at the Independence square.
A protesters called “The leaders, they should fix the team for us. If they can’t improve the situation of the Black Stars, all of them should vacate their positions”.
