  "account": "Kurt Okraku, the General Manager of Aduana FC, has urged against judging Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kurt Okraku based solely on the performance of the Black Stars. The GFA president and his team have been criticized due to Ghana's disappointing start to the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, with the Black Stars suffering a 2-0 loss to Ivory Coast and a 4-2 defeat to The Gambia. Ghana now sits at the bottom of Group C with no points.\n\nTakyi Arhin, speaking on the matter to Sporty FM, maintained that one should not use the Black Stars' performance as a measure to evaluate Kurt Okraku. He explained that the GFA is the caretaker of the national teams, while the state is also responsible for funding and supporting them. Arhin urged the GFA and the state to decouple their roles, stating that all national teams belong to the state and need proper investment.\n\nThe GFA president also praised Okraku for his contributions to the clubs, notably the recent GHS 1 million financial aid provided to Ghana Premier League clubs. Arhin highlighted that Okraku has been outstanding in his regular duties for the GFA, and the onus lies on the state to invest in the national teams.\n\nAs the Black Stars prepare for a double-header against Somalia in November, the GFA has established a five-member committee to find a new head coach following Carlos Queiroz's departure. The committee is anticipated to deliver its report to the Sports Ministry by October 9.",
