I Will Forever Support Kurt Okraku Because He Took Me To Many World Cups – Takyi Arhin

According to a report by The BBC Ghana today being Saturday, October 10, 2026, Aduana Stars FC manager Takyi Arhin has come to the defence of Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku amid criticism surrounding trips to the FIFA World Cup, insisting that he has no reason to hate someone who has given him the opportunity to attend every edition of the tournament.

In a statement featured by 90 Plus Sports, Takyi Arhin questioned why he should harbour negative feelings towards Okraku, considering the opportunities he said he had received to travel to the global football competition.

The Aduana Stars manager’s comments come amid discussions and criticism surrounding World Cup trips involving football officials and other individuals associated with Ghanaian football. His remarks reflect his personal position on the matter and his appreciation for the opportunities he believes the GFA president has provided him.

According to Takyi Arhin, his experiences travelling to the World Cup under Okraku’s leadership have given him reasons to continue supporting the football administrator rather than join those criticising him over the issue.

He also made his loyalty to the GFA president clear, declaring that he would continue to stand by him until death. The statement emphasises the strength of his support for Okraku despite the criticism the association’s leadership has faced over the World Cup trips.

Takyi Arhin’s comments have added another voice to the ongoing conversation about the GFA president and the arrangements surrounding attendance at football’s biggest international tournament.

The issue has attracted attention because World Cup trips involving football officials and other representatives can generate public debate about selection, access and accountability.

However, Takyi Arhin’s defence centres on the opportunities he says he has personally received from Okraku.

His remarks also demonstrate the differing opinions within Ghana’s football community regarding the GFA president’s leadership and decisions.

While critics may continue to raise questions about World Cup travel arrangements, Takyi Arhin has made it clear that his personal experiences have strengthened his support for Kurt Okraku. His declaration of loyalty is likely to generate further reactions among football followers and stakeholders in Ghana.
