GFA boss Kurt Okraku suggests how player exodus can be curbed in Ghana

President of the Ghana Football Association [GFA] Kurt Okraku has revealed what can be done to prevent players from leaving Ghana to for greener pastures in foreign lands.

According to him, the Ghanaian league is weakened as a result of players exodus, which is also a reason for Ghanaian clubs poor performances in inter-club African competitions.

Kurt Okraku addressing the nation on GTV Sports Plus, says it is difficult to prevent players from leaving the shores of the land but the situation must be handled carefully to ensure it’s a win-win situation.

“Once there is freedom of movement. It becomes difficult to keep players in the local league. But it’s necessary for us to find creative ways to invest in the youth to keep players here”.

“What we must not forget is when these players travel outside Ghana, they add value to themselves and come back to serve the country. All we need to do is to ensure a win-win situation so we all benefit.” He added.
