Kurt Okraku’s regime has ‘failed to perform’ – Kudjoe Fianoo demands resignation of GFA Executive Council

Former GHALCA chairman Kudjoe Fianoo has demanded that Ghana Football Association president Kurt Okraku and the entire Executive Council resign, alleging that the present administration has failed to meet expectations since assuming office in October 2019. Fianoo, once the CEO of AshantiGold, told Graphic Sports that he can tolerate shortcomings during the first four or even the first two years of a regime, but when progress stagnates, it regresses instead.

He stated, "He headed a body that failed to perform. So they should all leave." Kurt Okraku's position is under scrutiny following Ghana's poor performance in their 2027 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign. The Black Stars suffered a 4-2 home defeat to The Gambia in their second Group C match, following an opening defeat to Ivory Coast.

With no points from their first two matches, Ghana sits at the bottom of Group C, while Ivory Coast and The Gambia lead with six points each. The national team is currently undergoing changes to its coaching staff and is set to face Somalia at the Accra Sports Stadium in November.
