Ghana Football Association (GFA) President, Kurt Okraku, has called for nationwide unity and support for the Black Stars following the announcement of a new management committee and revamped technical team.
He emphasised, prompted by Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), includes the appointment of Winfried Anton Schäfer as Technical Advisor and Director of Football, alongside Desmond Ofei, Kris Perquy, and Gregory De Grauwe to strengthen the squad’s tactical and mental preparation.
John Paintsil and Fatau Dauda retain their roles, but Joseph Lauman has been dismissed as assistant coach.
"With the announcement of both the management committee of the Black Stars and a revamped technical team, it’s now our time to be truly Ghanaian and get behind our team once again," Okraku stated. "Ghana, our beloved country, has gone through this challenging period before, but by sticking together, we always came out stronger."
Okraku urged fans to rally behind the team as they shift focus to the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. "Our players need you!! Our players need us… It is time!!!!" he emphasised.
