Mubarak Wakaso Blames Politics For Black Stars’ Trophy Drought Since 1982

Black Stars midfielder Mubarak Wakaso is of the view that Ghana’s senior national team (Black Stars) is full of politics and that has facilitated in the trophyless run for the team.

Ghana, four-time African champions, are without a major trophy since 1982 and the midfielder believes football politics is undermining their capabilities of winning a trophy.

“I will speak the truth today, do you know our problem with the game? Maybe we know but we don’t want to say it but I think politics ruin the Blacks Stars at times,” the former Alaves star revealed in an interview with Angel TV.

According to him, anytime a new government assumes office, being it either NPP or NDC they try to use the Black Stars to fight each other politically which brings down the spirit of the team.

Wakaso has been an integral member of the Black Stars and was part of the squad that reaches the finals in the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

So far, he has had eight years stint with the Black Stars.
