Voodooism, Juju Or Black Magic In Football: The Realities And Myths by bingbagbo(op): 9:48am On Jun 17, 2019
Football is doubtlessly the biggest sports in the world. Football like all other human endeavour has several ramifications, one of which is spiritism.

There are countless stories I have heard from very credible sources of how football match results were correctly predicted by some spiritualists as well as some happenings in the said games. African football club of the century, Kumasi Asante Kotoko (awarded by the International Football History and Statistics) won the African champions league in 1981.

Before that tournament, spiritualist s had told the coach of the side, sellas tetteh Ghana was going. The red card in the grand finale to a Ghana player was truthfully predicted. Andre Ayew was directed by a spiritualist and hurray, Ghana won.

The few examples cited above are all Ghanaian because I am Ghanaian and I know there are similar stories the world over

On the contrary, is spiritism is the key, how come countries such as India and Benin who are noted for extreme spiritism haven't won football laurels?
