Ghana FA boss Kurt Okraku praises accomplished ‘Chief of Staff’ Michael Osekre’s ‘amazing’ role in the country’s 2022  World Cup berth

Ghana FA President Kurt Okraku has offered an emotional tribute to Michael Osekre, praising the outstanding Chief of Staff’s “amazing” role in the country’s qualification for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.

The Ghanaian FA president has heaped admiration on his ‘right-hand man’ and his significant behind-the-scenes contribution to the country’s fourth World Cup appearance in the Gulf.

Osekre, the President of second-tier team Vision FC and a successful businessman, is widely regarded as the FA capo’s conjoined twin.

Mr Okraku’s election as FA president in October 2019 was aided by the savvy freight forwarder and foreign player-manager.

Kurt Edwin Simeon Okraku, the Ghana FA’s president, has lavished praise on his team.

“We’ve had amazing people praying for us on this journey to stardom. We’ve had people (in reference to Michael Osekre) going out of their way to do extraordinary things,” Okraku told GVT Sports Plus.

“For the first time, I want to say thank you to my Chief of Staff for all the support. Thank you Michael Osekre.”

There is a lot to pick out as ties that bind Vision FC President Michael Osekre and Ghana FA chief President Kurt Okraku in what is a strong union between two men who share an unbridled love for football.
