GFA President Kurt Okraku urges stakeholders to help move Ghana football forward

President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt E.S Okraku has called on the various stakeholders to help move the sport forward in the West African nation. 

Kurt Okraku and delegates from the Ghana Football Association held the first ordinary congress under the new FA on Thursday, where the new President urged the 'football people' to help return the game to the top.

"The task ahead is possible if we all put our shoulders to the wheel and collectively pull towards the direction we all want to be," the GFA President urged Congressmen.

Mr. Okraku told Congress that his election as GFA President in October was not a victory for him, but a responsibility placed on him and the Executive Council to change the game.

"My election on October 25 was not a personal victory for Kurt E.S. Okraku. Rather, I see it as a huge responsibility placed on me and the Executive Council to change the game, ignite passion and create wealth for all."

"My election is a show of confidence from you. But more importantly, it is an ardous , but surmountable task to bring back the love for the game our people love so much across the country."

"The wheel, which will take us to our destination, which we all have to push, is the national secretariat, as well as all our regional secretariats. We cannot get to where we want to be without paying attention to the national and regional secretariats."

"The process to appoint a new General Secretary for the GFA is on, and we have established a Competitions department, which will supervise all domestic competitions in the country alongside the respective competitions committees.

We will also set up a Marketing Department, National Teams Department and a compliance unit. We will also support other departments of the GFA such as accounts , IT and communications department to derive the very best out of these department to impact positively on our game."
