Legendary Ghanaian footballer, Tony Yeboah believes football is 'dead' in the West African Nation.

According to the Frankfurt and Leeds United legend, Ghanaian football has been bedeviled with bribery and corruption.

Yeboah believes the only way to revive the game will be to invest in juvenile football.

“I don’t know what is going on because I don’t follow. Everyone knows Ghana football is dead because they didn’t listen to the advice we gave them from the beginning. So I think they are currently facing the punishment. If you involve bribes and stuff like that in football, you will destroy the game,” Yeboah told Peace FM, as quoted by GHANASoccernet.
