What has Kurt Okraku achieved to deserve a third term – former GFA Executive Committee Member Ntow Fiako calls on clubs to reject Kurt Okraku’s third-term bid
Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) executive committee member, Ntow Fianko, has raised significant concerns about the prospect of current GFA President Kurt Okraku securing a third term in office.
Speaking In an outspoken interview on Kessben TV, Fianko emphasized that Okraku’s tenure has not delivered enough measurable progress to warrant another term and called on football clubs across the country to reject any attempt by Okraku to extend his reign at the helm of Ghanaian football.
Fiako, a former influential figure within the GFA, who has long been critical of the state of the sport in Ghana, voiced his disappointment with Okraku’s leadership and pointed to a number of key issues that, according to him, remain unresolved. He argued that despite the GFA president’s high-profile positions within football administration, the results under his leadership have not matched the expectations of the clubs or the footballing public.
Fiako questioned the tangible achievements of Kurt Okraku’s tenure, which began in 2019. He highlighted that despite numerous promises of reforms and improvements to the local game, Ghanaian football has not witnessed a noticeable uplift in key areas such as the domestic league, the national team, or the overall governance of the sport.
Fiako’s call for clubs to reject Okraku’s third-term bid is part of a wider conversation within Ghanaian football about the need for a change in leadership. Some stakeholders believe that a new president could inject the energy and innovation required to revitalize the sport at all levels.
It remains to be seen whether clubs will heed Fianko’s call and whether the current GFA president can convince enough stakeholders that his leadership deserves an additional term. However, one thing is clear: the path forward for Ghanaian football will depend on strong leadership and a clear, actionable plan for progress—something that, according to Ntow Fianko, has yet to fully materialize under Kurt Okraku’s administration.
