Sannie Daara rates Kurt Okraku 9.8 out of 10 in first term

Kurt Okraku, president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has received praise from Ibrahim Sannie Daara, a former GFA communications director, for his outstanding leadership of Ghana Football despite the difficulties he has faced.

The first term of Okraku, who was elected in 2019, ends in October, and he is running for reelection.

Sannie Daara, a keen observer of the game, claims that the GFA president deserves praise for his significant contributions, despite the fact that his government has received a great deal of criticism from Ghanaian football fans and experts.

In contrast to other federations on the continent, Ghana football, in his opinion, receives less backing from the government, but such difficulties did not prevent the association from making significant progress.

"Out of 10, I'll give him a 9.8. So, in my opinion, I say this for these reasons Let me just take one point. One, Ghana Football was disrupted for two years by the COVID pandemic. and our case was very unique as compared to other colleagues on the continent,” he told 3Sports on Sports Ultras.




“I was speaking to the lady in charge of Women’s football at the Benin Football Federation. She told me the level of support they had from the government when their football was interrupted and also revealed to me that at the start of every season each of the clubs in the top tier of the Benin Football Federation gets an annual cash injection of 75,000 dollars apart from the cash injection those club could also get when they travel to play in continental competitions.




“We don’t have the level of blessing. We don’t have the attention and focus on our game from the authorities,” he explained.




Ahead of the elections anticipated to come off in a few months, Berekum Chelsea’s bankroller, Bernard Amofa Jantuah is the only one to have declared his intentions to contest the reigning boss of the GFA.
