George Afriyie, former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has announced his willingness to support Kurt Okraku’s administration for the advancement of Ghanaian football.

Afriyie, who lost the GFA presidential election to Okraku in 2019 and was disqualified from the 2023 race, has been a vocal critic of Okraku’s leadership, often citing what he considers an underwhelming performance. However, the outspoken football administrator now says it’s time to move beyond criticism and contribute positively to the development of football in Ghana.

“There are so many opportunities in this digital age to generate revenue. A league like the Premier League should not be broadcast for free—it shows there’s a problem with the product. If we can’t secure broadcast partners, we must address the issue,” Afriyie noted.

Expressing his readiness to collaborate, Afriyie revealed that he has already reached out to Okraku, emphasizing the need for collective efforts to improve Ghanaian football.

Kurt Okraku’s tenure as GFA President runs until 2027, and this newfound support from Afriyie could mark a turning point for the domestic football governing body.
