Ghana’s Sports Minister, Kofi Adams, has publicly expressed his opposition to Ghana Football Association (GFA) president Kurt Okraku’s bid for a third term in office. Adams cited the country’s presidential term limits, which are capped at two terms, as a reason for his opposition.

Okraku, who has been at the helm of the GFA since 2019, is seeking to amend the association’s statutes to allow for a third term when his second term expires in 2027. However, Adams believes that extending Okraku’s tenure is not necessary, emphasizing that Ghana’s football problems cannot be solely attributed to the tenure of the GFA president.

Adams’ stance has been echoed by several other football administrators, including Kudjoe Fianoo, George Afriyie, and Osei Kweku Palmer, who have all voiced their opposition to Okraku’s bid for a third term.

The GFA has faced criticism for its handling of national teams, including the Black Stars’ disappointing performances in recent Africa Cup of Nations tournaments.
