Minister of Youth and Sports, Mustapha Ussif, has firmly rejected accusations labeling him as the worst Sports Minister during a Parliamentary Select Committee session on Sports, Culture, and Tourism. Responding to criticism surrounding Ghana’s $3 million expenditure at the 2023 AFCON, despite an early group-stage exit, and the Baba Yara Stadium’s CAF ban due to poor conditions, Ussif defended his performance. He challenged the basis of the claims, asking for specific data to justify the narrative of his tenure being the worst. Ussif’s term has seen Ghana fail to progress beyond the group stage at both the 2021 and 2023 AFCON tournaments.
