All active former and current Ghanaian footballers on Twitter have lost their verification as Twitter get rid of legacy verification.

This comes after a purge of the checkmarks began on Thursday Thursday, April 20, 2023, to remove all blue check marks of users who have not subscribed to Twitter Blue.

Also, Ghana Premier League clubs that were on the legacy verification have lost their check marks.

The scrapping of legacy verification has seen top athletes, celebrities, and other prominent persons on Twitter losing their verification.

The new directive follows the takeover of the platform by billionaire Elon Musk who is now demanding that the verification will be on a subscription base at a fee.
