Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has called for enhanced performance from the Black Stars while reflecting on the significance of football and addressing the recent tenure of former coach Chris Hughton.
In his statement, Okraku highlighted the shared desire for success within the football community, reminiscing about past victories such as the U20 tournament which brought jubilation to the nation. However, he expressed disappointment over recent performances, suggesting that had Chris Hughton’s leadership met expectations, the team might have been in Abidjan instead of their current situation.
Okraku’s remarks underscored the importance of accountability and results within the national team, referencing former coach Kwesi Appiah’s tenure as a benchmark for evaluation. Despite the critique, Okraku clarified that criticisms stem from a desire for improvement rather than animosity towards any individual.
As discussions around the Black Stars’ performance continue, Okraku’s call for better results serves as a reminder of the collective ambition to restore the team’s glory and competitiveness on the international stage.
