The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has shared his thoughts on the current state of the Black Stars, the senior male national team of Ghana. Recent performances by the team have left much to be desired, sparking concern among fans and observers who had high hopes for the squad in the run-up to the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
During the October international break, Ghana participated in two friendly matches against Mexico and the USA. Unfortunately, the Black Stars’ performance in both games fell far short of expectations, leaving supporters disappointed.
In these matches, Ghana suffered a 2-0 defeat to Mexico and an even more disheartening 4-0 loss to the US Men’s national team. These results have raised questions about the team’s readiness for upcoming competitions.
Addressing the lackluster performances of the Black Stars, Kurt Okraku expressed his own concerns, stating, “Our Black Stars must rise again, but I’m a disturbed servant.” This candid admission from the GFA president highlights the collective disappointment and calls for improvement.
With the qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup set to begin next month, Ghana has an opportunity to regroup and regain its competitive edge. The Black Stars are scheduled to face Madagascar and Comoros in the upcoming matches, and fans are eager to see a resurgence in the team’s form.
In the world of sports, performances can be subject to ups and downs, and Kurt Okraku’s call for the Black Stars to rise again reflects the determination to overcome the recent setbacks and work towards future success. Ghanaians will be watching closely as their national team endeavors to regain its winning ways on the international stage.
