President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, remains steadfast in his belief that Ghanaian football can be rejuvenated.
Despite facing significant public criticism following the disappointing performance of the Black Stars at the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast, Okraku asserts that restoring the sport’s former glory will necessitate a collective effort, with the FA open to innovative ideas for transformation.
During his presentation at the Meet the Press event in Kumasi, Okraku emphasized the FA’s willingness to take accountability for the state of football in the country while urging all stakeholders to contribute to its development.
“We need the collective effort of all and sundry. We take responsibility as leaders of the association but will count on the collective ideas to continue to transform the sport,” Okraku stated.
He reiterated the FA’s unwavering commitment to reinstating the lost glory and passion for football among Ghanaians, emphasizing the importance of collaboration from all sectors of society.
Okraku stressed the readiness of the FA to listen to diverse perspectives and ideas, emphasizing the importance of open dialogue and engagement with stakeholders.
“The FA is very much committed to bringing back the lost glory and the passion of our people. All our publics must stand shoulder to shoulder with us. In good times and in bad times, we are ready to listen to the other minds. We have to let people speak to us and tell us what they think.”
