Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kwesi Nyantakyi offered a candid critique of the current state of football under the leadership of Kurt Okraku. Nyantakyi, who led the GFA for over a decade, likened football’s challenges to the complexities of pregnancy, emphasizing that visible signs indicate all is not well with the game.
“Football is like pregnancy,” he began, “and we can all see that all is not well with our game. Kurt Okraku’s administration is not doing well, and that is the truth. I don’t know what is wrong, but we can all see the cracks.”
Nyantakyi expressed concern over the lack of stability in the technical direction of Ghanaian football, pointing out that the GFA has cycled through five different coaches within five years. “This is not a good sign of a performing administration. Five coaches in five years is not good enough, and all these changes have not helped.”
While he refrained from delving too deeply into specifics, Nyantakyi’s remarks hinted at a broader dissatisfaction with the current administration’s handling of the sport. His comments have since sparked widespread debate among stakeholders, with many reflecting on the need for a more stable and strategic approach to football management in Ghana.
