Ghanaian football icon Mohammed Polo has dismissed allegations that GFA president Kurt Okraku is to blame for the Black Stars' poor performances in the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The Black Stars suffered a 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast and another heartbreaking 4-2 defeat to The Gambia, sparking debate about the national team's direction and the leadership of the GFA.

Despite these setbacks, Polo defended Okraku, stating that the GFA president has been actively working to improve Ghana football. In an interview with SWIT FM, Polo maintained that the problems facing the national team and clubs run deeper than Okraku's leadership, suggesting that Ghana is facing a spiritual challenge. He emphasized that Okraku should not be singled out for the team's results, and that Ghana football is thriving under his stewardship.
