Former Ghana international Derek Boateng has criticised the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for their handling of the sport in Ghana following yet another unimpressive tournament experience.

The Black Meteors were the latest to fail in their attempts to secure desirable results as they were knocked out of the ongoing U-23 Africa Cup of Nations.

Ghana played out a 1-1 stalemate against Guinea on Friday night, a result which meant they finished third in Group A with four points, exiting the competition on the goal difference rule.

They add to the recent failures of the various national teams under the guidance of the Kurt Okraku-led GFA administration.

Speaking on Joy Sports Link on Saturday, the ex-Black Stars midfielder said: "It's about time we start being fair and tough in our decision. We haven't done enough to be at the Olympic Games."

"The GFA think they have answers to everything. Our youth football is collapsing and it's about time we stop thinking about Black Stars."

The Right to Dream Academy scout also revealed the GFA members influence selection at various national team levels because they own players.

"The FA owns a lot of players in the national teams and that's why we don't perform," he continued.

"When CK [Akonnor] was there, the FA were telling him the kind of players he should call and when things didn't go well they kicked him out.

"For me, I think the GFA don't know what they are doing. I don't think the GFA school will help Ghana football."

Boateng played through the ranks at the national team before advancing to feature for the senior team on several occasions.
