GFA president confident in new committee
The Ghana Football Association president, Kurt Okraku believes the newly constituted management committee of the Black Stars will spearhead the team to success.
The Ghana FA has come under intense pressure following the Black Stars' failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. The Black Stars also failed to progressed beyond the group stage of any of their last three international tournament.
The old management committee was immediately dissolved after the disastrous AFCON qualifying run.
"We are excited to announce the formation of this new Management Committee, which brings together a team of experienced and dedicated individuals who are passionate about Ghana football," he said.
"We are confident that they will work tirelessly to support the Black Stars and ensure their success."
The Black Stars returns to action in March for the World Cup qualifiers against Madagascar and Chad, with hopes of bouncing back from their recent slump.
