“World Cup qualifiers a test of your quality” – Kurt Okraku

GFA President Kurt Okraku has challenged the Black Stars to go out and demonstrate their quality when the Black Stars begin their World Cup Qualification journey against Ethiopia.

The Black Stars will host Ethiopia at the Cape-Coast Stadium on Matchday 1of the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers.

The team arrived in Cape Coast yesterday and have already begun preparations in earnest ahead of Friday’s tie.

GFA President Kurt Okraku speaking to the team ahead of Friday’s encounter with the Walyas of Ethiopia charged the team to display their quality on the field as it’s only the topmost players that play on the World Stage.

“It is a moment I have been waiting for as the leader of this family because this is my first time. It is a moment each one of you should be looking up to if you are a top player.” – Kurt told the team.

“If you are a top player you need to belong to the topmost platform in football. If any of you is not a top player please this is the door and you can walk out. It means you don’t belong to this family and the platform that confronts us beginning on Friday.” – Kurt added.

“If you are a top player, Dede, this is the time. If you call yourself a top player, the world cup is the biggest platform you can think about where all the big players assemble to show what they are made of.” – Kurt continued.

“If you are a top coach this is the time to show it, C.K. This is the time to show that you are the best,” he concluded.
