President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku says he and his team had to work overtime to revive football in Ghana.<\/p>\n

He made these comments at the 2023 GFA Elections held at the Global Dream Hotel in Tamale where he was voted as President for a second term on Thursday, October 5, 2023.<\/p>\n

Mr Okraku\u00a0ran unopposed following the disqualification of rival George Afriyie from the race by the Elections Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).<\/p>\n

Speaking after being declared GFA President for another four-year term, Mr Okraku\u00a0pointed out how bad things were when he took over as President and how much work was needed to get the sport back on track.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to thank my staff led by the General Secretary (Prosper Harrison Addo). I want to thank the staff for all the hard work,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey call me Mr. Pressure because I don\u2019t allow them to sleep because clearly from where we took Ghana football, we couldn\u2019t work 24 hours a day. We needed to work 26 hours a day to revive our sport and each one of them is committed towards the next phase of our agenda of developing football,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
