Atta Kusi, a former defender for King Faisal and Asante Kotoko, claims that it is very difficult to have a prosperous football career in Ghana.
In an interview, Kusi expressed his dissatisfaction with his decision to pursue a football career, stating that his skill just made him a pauper.
The seasoned defender has chosen not to play football in the nation due to low pay.
"I genuinely feel bad about playing football. I regret not focusing on my schooling or learning a trade. I would have been making more money if I had than I did playing football in this nation," Kusi revealed.
Despite having played for well-known teams like Ashanti Gold and Asante Kotoko, he acknowledged that he feels ashamed whenever he must rely on friends for financial support.
"Whenever I think back on my playing career, I feel great sympathy for teams like Kotoko, Ashanti Gold, and Gold Stars. Having to ask my buddies, who work as electricians and mechanics, for pocket money is embarrassing.
To have a great career, Atta Kusi then counseled young football players to look for better opportunities.
"All aspiring athletes should put in a lot of effort and look for chances abroad, in my opinion. Here, becoming a successful football player is quite difficult. Furthermore, a single injury could terminate your career too soon if you don't have the right insurance.
Atta Kusi's contract with Heart of Lions ended in the 2023–2024 season, leaving him without a club.
The seasoned right-back has played for Kotoko King Faisal, Ashantigold, and Bibiani Goldstars in Ghana's top division for nearly his whole career.
