I want to win the AFCON and World Cup for Ghana – GFA boss Kurt Okraku
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku has made a bold claim that he wants the country to win the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and the Fifa World Cup under his administration.
Mr Okraku was addressing the media in Kumasi earlier today with regards to Black Stars’ poor performance at the ongoing 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) tournament.
The senior national team were hoping to lift their fifth continental title but suffered another group phase elimination after finishing 3rd with two points.
Despite the backlash, Mr Okraku said he is bent on ensuring that the Black Stars win the AFCON and the Mundial under his auspices as the GFA boss.
“I want to win the AFCON I want to win the World Cup I want to win every competition Ghana finds itself,” he said.
“This is the collective belief and mindset of my fellow Executive Council members.
“I want to position the Ghanaman Soccer Center of Excellence very well and make it an enviable international standard,” he added.
Under Mr Okraku’s administration, the Black Stars have failed to win a game at the AFCON in the last two editions in Cameroon and Ivory Coast exiting at the group stage in the last two tournaments.
At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, the Black Stars again exited at the tournament at the group stage with just three points.
