In an interview with Asempa FM, Gyan, Ghana's leading goal-scorer of all time, highlighted Mr. Okraku’s commitment to securing qualification for the tournament, which will be hosted by the USA, Canada, and Mexico next year.

Kurt Okraku is working tirelessly behind the scenes to ensure Ghana qualify for the 2026 World Cup. We did not qualify for AFCON and everyone is disappointed, and the players are aware of that but we must now help ensure the team qualify for the tournament.

Gyan further emphasized that if Ghana fails to qualify, it would not be about individuals but the whole country.

Kurt Okraku is bringing people closer to the team which is a good thing so we are all ready to help to ensure the team qualify for the World Cup.

The Black Stars will continue their training session today, wrapping up on Thursday ahead of the game on Friday at the Accra Sports Stadium.

Gyan visited the team’s second training session at the Accra Stadium on Tuesday, March 18, 2025, and was captured giving a few tips to Black Stars captain Jordan Ayew and Mohammed Kudus.

In their Matchday five games, Ghana will face Chad on Friday, March 20, before traveling to Morocco to play Madagascar on Monday, March 24.
