Former Black Stars management committee member Alhaji Grusah asserts that the current poor form of the Black Stars is a consequence of the alleged greediness of Ghana Football Association President Kurt Okraku.
According to Grusah, Okraku has isolated individuals in the football community and has chosen to rely solely on his close associates to manage the association.
Grusah alleges that Kurt terminated the services of the previous Black Stars management committee members without providing them with official dismissal letters.
“They said they had dissolved the national team, and they didn’t give us letters because (sic) they appointed us,” he said in an audio aired on Sompa FM.
While venting his grievances, the King Faisal bankroller said God is serving his punishment on Kurt in the most embarrassing way.
“He claimed he could do it all by himself; it’s God who is punishing him. Where you least expect to be embarrassed that where you get embarrassed for cheating on people. We are supposed to be one family in football but you want to do it alone along with your family…,” he added.
Regarding Ghana’s 1-0 loss to Comoros, Grusah said the loss means the Black Stars will face an uphill task at the soon-to-start 2023 AFCON.
“The youth are hoping the Black Stars will qualify for the World Cup so they can travel and start a new life. We thank God we won 1-0 we won (against Madagascar) in Kumasi. But for the Black Stars to fail to score in 90 minutes after conceding (against Comoros), it means we will have a problem in Ivory Coast.”
The Black Stars suffered their second defeat in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Comoros on Tuesday, November 21, 2023, marking three losses in their last four games.
Throughout this period, the team managed one victory, securing a 1-0 win against Madagascar in Kumasi during their World Cup qualifier opener.
