It takes time to fix problems of Ghana football – Kurt Okraku

President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, has urged Ghanaians to be patient with his administration as they seek to address the problems facing the nations football.Okraku stated that it takes time and investment to restore Ghanaian football to the level it was at over a decade ago.He cited disruptions caused by the Number 12 documentary as a key reason why Ghanaian football is struggling to meet its previous standards.Speaking to the press during the U15 Colts Championship recently held in Prampram, Okraku said, I would always want to remind all of us where we have come from. Sometimes we do forget about our yesterday.We came from a point where the game had been stopped in our country. We came from a period where colts football was dead in our country.We came from a period where we were inconsistent in running of our domestic leagues. We came from a period where our national teams were not performing.To fix this, it takes time, it takes patience, it takes the right people, and it takes a lot of investments.Following the release of the Number 12 expos, the government dissolved the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in 2018 in an effort to restore integrity.The fallout also affected the performance of the national team, the Black Stars, contributing to their failure to qualify for the 2018 FIFA World Cup.The expos had broader implications beyond Ghana, as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) suspended several referees implicated in corrupt activities.
