Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku is confident that Ghana’s national teams have become highly competitive under his leadership. He believes his efforts have revitalized the teams, which he says were struggling before he assumed office.
Okraku highlighted the Black Stars’ return to the World Cup in 2022 after missing the previous edition, as well as the Black Queens’ qualification for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) after sitting out the last two tournaments.
“The Ghanaian game was on the low before 2019. Fast forward 2019, 2020 and now I think that we’ve made big inroads bringing all our competitions back, bringing the desire and the passion of the people back,” Okraku remarked in an interview aired on Asempa FM.
He added, “All our national teams are now competitive. We’ve gone ahead to also introduce more youth competitions, more youth national teams. If you remember we were back at the World Cup in Qatar after we lost out in 2018.
“Our Black Queens, the female national team, are back in AFCON after being away for a while. Our youth national teams are also on the rise again. All our domestic competitions back on track and timely. So the outlook looks very good.”
