The incumbent Kurt Okraku has showered praises to ex GFA Boss Kwesi Nyantekyi for leading the Senior National team, the Black to three World Cup finals.

The former CAF 1st Vice President led the Ghana to its maiden World Cup in 2006 in Germany where the Black Stars exited at the Round of 16 after beating the Czech Republic and United States of America at the Group stage.

Subsequently, under the tutelage of  Kwesi Nyantakyi, Ghana played in the 2010 and 2014 global showpieces in South Africa and Brazil.

Speaking at the dinner with the Legends event at East Legon Saturday night, Mr. Okraku commended the former GFA President for an excellent track record.

‘’For those of you who have played at the world cup, who have managed teams at the World Cup, you know what it means to be part of that special group called the World Cup. For those of you who have managed national teams to play at the world cup, you know exactly what it means to manage football at that highest level of football governance’’ the WAFU Zone ‘B’ President said.

‘’In saying this, let me say ayekoo to the former President of our Football Association, President Kwesi Nyantakyi. He qualified Ghana to the World Cup on three occasions, 2006, 2010 and 2014. Let’s give it to him and everybody who worked with him in those years Ghana was represented on the world stage again, Ayekoo’’ Kurt Okraku added.

The Black Stars are among the five countries that will represent the African continent at the world tournament set for the Gulf nation in November and December.

They will open their campaign against Portugal on November 24 at Stadium 974, face South Korea at Education City Stadium on November 28 and wind up their group matches against Uruguay on December 2 at Al Wakrah Sports Complex.
