Leadership Woes at the Heart of Ghana Football’s Decline.
In recent years, Ghana’s football, particularly its senior national team, the Black Stars, has seen a significant downturn in performance. This decline is not limited to the senior team but spans various levels, including youth and women's football. The current Ghana Football Association (GFA) president, Kurt Okraku, has come under fire for his role in this ongoing deterioration. Despite boasting talented players in top European leagues, Ghana’s national teams have failed to make any significant impact under Okraku’s leadership, including a historic failure to reach knockout stages in major tournaments during his tenure. The blame, Okraku argues, lies with player performance, but many critics point to his administration as the consistent factor across Ghana’s struggling football scene.
