GFA President Kurt Okraku revealed that he is ‘proud’ of the achievements of the Black Galaxies following their victory over Nigeria.
In the first leg, Ghana won 2-0 thanks to goals from Daniel Afriyie Barnieh and Suraj Seidu but in the second leg, Nigeria also won 2-0 in Abuja.
The game went straight to penalties and Ghana clinched a 5-4 victory over Super Eagles B, sealing qualification to the African Nations Championship tournament for the first time since 2014.
“I am here to thank and congratulate you. Before you travelled we had a lengthy conversation and indeed you’ve gone to Abuja to make the nation proud,” Kurt said.
“My mission here tonight is to express the gratitude of the GFA and the nation to each one of your for the honor done to our dear country. You went in there to seek qualification and no matter the challenges, you were able to qualify.
This achievement is valuable because previously we’ve made two or three attempts but we couldn’t make it and you guys have done it.”
