Nigeria Is One-eyed King - Ghana FA Boss

NIGERIA is one-eyed king in the land of the blind as far as Women football is concerned in Africa, says the President of Ghana Football Association, GFA, Kwesi Nyantakyi.

At the fifth FIFA Women Football Symposium held in Frankfurt, Germany, yesterday, Nyantakyi said the African continent has not gained anything from the dominant status of Nigeria in Women Football.

''As we can see, Nigeria is a one-eyed king in the land of the blind, the whole of Africa cannot sit by and let things continue like this. We have gained nothingfrom the editions of the World Cup where Nigeria has come as defending African champions.

On our part, we shall challenge Nigeria and ensure we displace them as the leading country in African football as far as Women football is concerned. We are putting structures in place to ensure this,” he added.
