C.K Akonnor Can Take Us To The Promise Land- GFA Prez. Kurt Okraku

Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku has given his strongest backing to Black Stars coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor and believes he is the man to end the nation’s AFCON trophy drought.

The four times African champions have not won the competition since 1982, and the Nations Cup next year will make it 40 years sine the country’s last success.
