GHANA’S FOOTBALL BRAND INFLUENCES FIFA’S RANKING

A soccer Analyst and renowned sports Journalist, Yaw Ampofo-Ankrah believes that the brand of the Black Stars influenced FIFA’s decision in making Ghana’s national team the best on the continent.
He explains that football has moved away from just win and loses to how passionate and marketable a team can be.
Yaw Ampofo Ankrah tells Adom news that the Black Stars have been the toast of the continent and many football teams in the world will not mind to pay expensive money just to play them.
The Sports Analyst who side with FIFA’s rankings on Ghana says it’s a shame football is moving at that direction.
He says a lot of things go on to determine the position of a team on the rankings.
He made this comments today in reaction to arguments by some soccer followers who critise the current rankings, since according to them Ghana does not deserve the number one position on the continent.

Commenting on the current controversy between CAF and BBC player of the year, he explains that its time the two entities merge to award the best player on the continent.
He says this partnership will go a long way to strengthen football on the continent.
This came to light after two of Ghana’s player Samuel Osei Kuffour and Asamoah Gyan were robbed off the chance to win the CAF awards.
