Kim Lars Björkegren is owed 13 months’ salary – Kurt Okraku reveals

Ghana's Football Federation President Kurt Edwin-Simeon Okraku revealed that the country's 20 national teams have been sharing a single bus since 2008, which is now inoperable. This revelation was made before Parliament's Select Committee on Youth and Sports, where Okraku detailed the challenges facing Ghanaian football. The ageing vehicle, purchased by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in 2008, has served all national teams for 18 years before breaking down, according to Okraku.

He criticized the situation as a "basic logistical failure" that undermines Ghana's efforts to build a sustainable football ecosystem. Okraku cited inadequate infrastructure and operational support as key factors contributing to the country's inability to sustain success across generations of national teams. He urged for greater government investment in Ghanaian football, emphasizing that reliable logistics are fundamental to national-team performance.

The disclosure comes amid growing criticism of Okraku's administration and calls for his resignation or the dissolution of the current GFA leadership. This revelation is expected to intensify scrutiny of the resources available to Ghana's national teams and the level of logistical investment supporting football development in the country.
