President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, believes that all Ghana national teams are now competitive during his tenure.
He asserts that he has revitalized these teams, which were on a downward trajectory before he took office.
Kurt Okraku cited the Black Stars' qualification for the 2022 World Cup after missing the previous edition and the Black Queens' qualification for the Women's AFCON after missing the previous two tournaments.
“The Ghanaian game was on the low before 2019. Fast forward 2019, 2020 and now I think that we've made big inroads bringing all our competitions back, bringing the desire and the passion of the people back,” Kurt said in an interview played on Asempa FM.
“All our national teams are now competitive. We've gone ahead to also introduce more youth competitions, more youth national teams. If you remember we were back at the World Cup in Qatar after we lost out in 2018.
“Our Black Queens, the female national team, are back in AFCON after being away for a while. Our youth national teams are also on the rise again. All our domestic competitions back on track and timely. So the outlook looks very good.”
