Ghana Football Association vice president Fred Pappoe has called for all an inclusive effort to halt the alarming slides of Ghana football.
The football powerhouse has experienced some disappointing results in the last four months with clubs and national teams involved.
Ghana's two representatives in Caf inter-clubs competitions were kicked out in the preliminary qualifying rounds.
The Local Black Stars and the Black Queens both failed to make it past the round stage of the CHAN tournament and African Women's Nations Cup respectively.
A promising Ghana Under-23 team were handed a shock exit from the London 2012 Olympic Games qualifiers and only last Saturday the Black Queens were also bundled out by Ethiopia.
Late last year, the national Under-17 failed to qualify for the 2011 African Under-17 Championship.
The FA has received the flak for failing to do little to help raise the standard of the local game
But Pappoe, who doubles as Black Stars management committee head, wants all hands on deck to reverse the trend than point accusing fingers.
"I don't believe in apportioning blames. Lamenting over an existing problem will provide no solution. We have all recognised that there are massive challenges confronting football in the country at the moment," Pappoe told Accra-based Asempa FM.
''Blaming an individual is not going to provide a solution. All hands must be on deck to solve the problem. We all have our part to play."
