The president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, believes his true legacy will be recognized once he finishes his term in office. Addressing criticism that has surfaced during his tenure, Okraku emphasized that the lasting impact of his administration will be measured by the long-term growth of Ghana football. Speaking to Accra-based 3Sports, Okraku acknowledged the scrutiny that comes with the role of a GFA president, but expressed his commitment to establishing a lasting legacy for the game in Ghana.
"Much like Kwame Nkrumah, people will appreciate when I am gone," Okraku stated. "Not only will they appreciate, but they will remember the good things we did for Ghana football." Noting that criticism is a common experience for those in charge of football associations, Okraku drew a parallel between his situation and that of former GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi. Nyantakyi, too, faced significant criticism despite leading Ghana to the World Cup and the AFCON finals.
Okraku reiterated his focus on delivering positive change, rather than engaging with critics. He expressed confidence that history will provide a fair evaluation of his administration, adding that his ultimate hope is that his tenure will be remembered for its role in the development and progress of Ghana football.
