In a heartbreaking plea, former Asante Kotoko striker, Ibrahim Osman, has reached out to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for help. The player, who suffered an injury that has left him unable to play, claims that he has been neglected by the current management of the club, including Nana Yaw Amponsah.
Speaking in a recent interview with Accra-based Angel 102.9 FM, Ibrahim expressed his frustration at the lack of communication and support from the club’s management. “Nana Yaw Amponsah and his management refused to answer my calls, and now my contract with the club has expired,” he revealed.
For over a year now, Ibrahim has been confined to his home, unable to pursue his passion for football due to the injury. Desperate for a solution, he disclosed that he requires GHC40,000 for surgery to regain his fitness and resume his career.
The saga of Ibrahim Osman, whose talent has thrilled football fans in the past, reveals the hardships faced by professional athletes when their careers are derailed by injury. With his contract now expired and a pressing need for funds to undergo surgery, the former striker has turned to the GFA in search of assistance.
As football fans and supporters, it is incumbent upon us to rally around players like Ibrahim, who have contributed to the excitement and joy of the game. The GFA, as the governing body of Ghanaian football, can play a crucial role in facilitating Ibrahim’s access to the necessary medical treatment.
The plea of Ibrahim Osman serves as a reminder that the welfare of players, both during their active careers and in times of adversity, must be a priority. Efforts should be made to ensure that players receive the support they need to overcome obstacles and continue pursuing their dreams.
It is our hope that the GFA will actively consider Ibrahim’s plea and provide the necessary assistance to help him undergo the much-needed surgery. By doing so, they would not only be fulfilling their duty as the guardians of Ghanaian football but also conveying a powerful message of compassion and solidarity to athletes across the nation.
