“I’m not interested in destroying Ghana football” – GFA boss Kurt Okraku insists

Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has emphasized his commitment to improving Ghana football and raising its standards, dispelling any notion of intending to destroy the sport.

Okraku, who also serves as the President of WAFU B, has faced criticism from some Ghanaians due to recent underwhelming performances of national teams.

During the GFA’s 29th Congress in Kumasi, Okraku acknowledged the state of Ghanaian football when he assumed office in 2019, describing it as “badly damaged.”

“I’m not interested in destroying the brand, Ghana football. If I indeed you love Ghana football you should be interested in building the brand and not to be destroyed. When we took over, this brand was badly damaged,” Okraku said.

The Congress, held at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), provided a platform for discussions on important topics, including upcoming elections and proposals regarding increased nomination fees.

As Okraku prepares to contest this year’s elections for another term, his statement reiterates his dedication to Ghanaian football’s improvement. He previously emerged victorious in the closely contested 2019 presidential elections, and his commitment to the development of the sport remains resolute.
