Nyaho-Tamakloe calls on Kurt Okraku to resign amid Black Stars struggles

The Black Stars have won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions.

Nyaho-Tamakloe calls on Kurt Okraku to resign amid Black Stars struggles

Former Ghana Football Association Chairman Dr Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has urged current president Kurt Okraku to resign due to the Black Stars' ongoing difficulties. In their second Group C qualifier, Ghana suffered a 4-2 home loss to The Gambia at Accra Sports Stadium, following their initial 2-0 defeat to Ivory Coast. This left Ghana with no points from their first two matches, placing them at the bottom of Group C, alongside The Gambia, who lead with six points each.

The poor results have heightened worries about Ghana's prospects of qualifying for the 2027 AFCON, with the nation potentially missing the tournament for a second consecutive occasion under the current leadership. Nyaho-Tamakloe stated, "If he feels that he has failed and he has the culture of resignation, then nobody will tell him he will resign by himself as I did when I was there."

He further added, "Either you do it and then one will know exactly that this man is principled…he should just quit like others have done in the past." Ghana faces Somalia in their upcoming AFCON qualifier in November, needing a successful outcome to improve their standing in Group C. The Black Stars have won only one of their last eight matches across all competitions.
