President of the Ghana Football Association [GFA], Kurt Okraku has lauded the Black Galaxies following their qualification for the 2023 Championship of African Nations [CHAN].
The home based senior national team beat their Nigerian counterparts 5-4 on penalties after the Super Eagles managed to equal Ghana’s 2-0 win in Cape Coast last weekend.
Speaking to the players following their arrival at the Airforce base, Mr Okraku stated that he’s proud of the team’s achievements throughout the qualification process.
“I am here to thank and congratulate you. Before you travelled we had a lengthy conversation and indeed you’ve gone to Abuja to make the nation proud," he said.
“My mission here tonight is to express the gratitude of the GFA and the nation to each one of you for the honor done our dear country. You went in there to seek qualification and no matter the challenges you were able to qualify.
He also stresses on the importance of dealing qualification especially after Ghana’s absence from the CHAN competition since 2014.
“This achievement is valuable because previously we’ve made two or three attempts but we couldn’t make it and you guys have done it," he added.
