The Ghana FA chief insists clubs from the country have failed to succeed on continental level because they lack financial backing.
Ghana Football Association president Kwesi Nyantakyi has admitted that he is worried following the elimination of Aduana Stars from the 2018 Caf Champions League.
The Fire Club, after winning the first leg of the last qualifying round 1-0, suffered a 4-0 drubbing against E.S Setif in the return fixture in Algeria on Sunday and have been demoted to the Caf Confederation Cup.
"Aduana Stars exit from Caf Champions League is a great concern to everyone one," Nyantakyi said, during a media briefing on Monday.
"Fortunately, I have a fair idea of what goes on in the rest of Africa. Why do the North African countries dominate the African Champions League? It's because of money. They buy the best players even from West Africa."
He added: "Clubs participating in African [clubs competition] is a very serious venture. I went through it once and I nearly got bankrupt [since] it's very expensive. We've seen clubs participating and the following year they go to relegation like Ebusua Dwarfs and King Faisal."

Why are you worried? You have been the FA president for some time now, you have not been able to improve the fortunes of the various clubs, rather all the clubs are worse off, yet, you want a re-election, what do you have to offer that you have not had enough chance in the past to offer? Please, step aside, let another person also run the FA, if you have any support offer it. You are also throwing your hands up in despair like every one, the buck stops with you, so give us answers, if not step down and let someone else run the FA. We don't need your concerns, we want solutions. If you keep running the FA, I can predict, the local league is doomed. Get out!
