Mr. Kurt Okraku President of GFA

According to him, his administration took over the running of Ghana Football at a time when the game had fallen to pieces.

As such, he had to appoint individuals who were committed and ready to work.

“We were allowed to serve at a time where the entire football ecosystem had crumpled and it was important for us to bring on board people who were ready and who we think will help us to deliver our mandate,” he said in an interview with SuperSports.

He further said,” What we have done is to look around every corner of the football ecosystem finding out who is willing, who has the right levels of passion, and who is prepared to go 26 hours without sleeping like my good self to serve our football industry.

Kurt has been the President of the Ghana Football Association since 2019.
