Kurt Okraku Says Focus Is on GFA Work as He Rules Out Early Re-Election Discussions

Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku says it is too early to begin conversations about whether he will seek another term in office.

With almost two years still remaining in his current tenure, Okraku stressed that his priority is to continue working rather than focusing on future elections.

Reflecting on his time in charge, he pointed out that he assumed leadership of the GFA during what he described as one of the most difficult periods in Ghana’s football history.

Okraku said he is not interested in discussing re-election at this stage, noting that he still has significant time left in office to focus on serving the game and helping develop Ghana football.

Addressing questions about balancing his responsibilities at the Confederation of African Football (CAF) with his role at the GFA, Okraku rejected suggestions that the workload is too demanding. He explained that his passion for football gives him the drive and energy needed to perform effectively in both roles.

He added that serving at the continental level has been a major learning experience, describing it as an eye-opening opportunity that has helped him grow, while also expressing his willingness to continue learning and contributing to football development.
