Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has called on juvenile national team coaches to foster deeper unity and collaboration as Ghana ramps up its youth football development agenda.
Speaking at a strategic meeting held on Tuesday, May 6, 2025, President Okraku stressed that working as a single unit was crucial to laying a strong foundation for Ghana’s national teams.
“We are one unit, one family, working towards a common goal — to raise the standard of Ghana football starting from the base,” he told the gathering of technical heads, the National Juvenile Committee (NJC), Technical Directorate, and National Teams Department.
He further urged coaches to shelve personal interests and focus on the collective mission. “Let’s not work in silos. Let us share ideas, support each other, and ensure that no talent slips through our fingers because of poor coordination.”
The meeting included coaches from the U15, U16, and U17 national teams, along with members of the NJC and youth football committees. The message of unity is expected to underpin upcoming initiatives, including the Elite U15 Championship.
