Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association, expressed his displeasure with the Black Stars’ current situation and that he preferred to see the senior national team win games and play attractive football.
During a news conference on Wednesday in Kumasi, Okraku acknowledged that the team’s recent results had fallen short of expectations, including their inability to go past the group stage of the current Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) competition in Ivory Coast.
Following a surprising departure against Cape Verde, Ghana drew with Egypt and Mozambique.
“I want to see our Black Stars and all our national teams play good football and win games, including all local clubs,” Okraku said.
“How can this be achieved? It starts with the process we are undertaking today – engaging and sharing ideas, getting feedback, and ensuring that we are ready to implement the necessary strategies to bring back the love for football.”
Okraku underlined that Ghanaian football development requires a comprehensive strategy that begins at the local level.
“Investing in the basics of our game, from the bottom up, is the way forward,” he stressed.
“We cannot afford to neglect any aspect of our football development if we want to see our national teams succeed.”
