Ghanaian musician Criss Waddle has expressed his frustration following the Black Stars’ 4-2 defeat to The Gambia in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
Ghana recently played its second AFCON qualifier against The Gambia, where the Black Stars surrendered a two-goal lead to suffer a 4-2 defeat at the Accra Sports Stadium.
Following the Black Stars’ woeful defeat, Criss Waddle has joined a section of Ghanaians calling for changes in the leadership of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

In a post shared on X on September 30, 2026, Criss Waddle called for GFA President Kurt Okraku to be sacked from his position.
According to the musician, the Black Stars have gone through several changes in coaching, yet the consistent defeats of the national team cannot solely be attributed to the coaches.

He explained that Kurt Okraku is responsible for the Black Stars’ problems, adding that if the GFA president is not sacked, the national team will continue to face difficulties with its performances.
“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has dismissed or sacked at least over 10 head coaches in the past years, yet our football trajectory still hasn’t changed. Why do we still blame coaches in 2026? We must be joking… GFA president himself has to be sacked,” he said.
