Ex Ghana star Jojo Bossman calls on GFA to focus on Colts Football

Ghana Premier League cult hero Francis Jojo Bossman, has called on the Ghana Football Association(GFA) to channel their attention to the development of colts football in the country.

According to the former Hearts of Oak midfield sensation, the colts system is what has produced most of the country’s legends in the sport, citing himself as a product of the system.

Speaking in an interview with Accra based Happy FM, Bossman, who currently plies his career in the lower tiers of Serbian football, appealed to the overseers of football in Ghana to give attention to the country’s ailing juvenile football.

“The colts football is what has helped Ghana football to produce a lot of talents for the country,” He said.

“It was through colt’s football that we also got the chance to play. So I will plead with GFA officials, GHALCA to develop colts football,” the former Ghana international added.

Colts football since it’s inception in the 19th century, has produced some of the country’s best talents with the likes of Abedi Pele, Mohammed Polo, Chelsea legend Michael Essien, Stephen Appiah, Sulley Muntari, Asamoah Gyan and many others passing through the system.

However, the system has been in constant decline over the years following the introduction of the Academy system in the West African country in the late 90’s.
