GFA boss Kurt Okraku officially congratulates Ghana Premier League champions Samartex

President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku has officially congratulated FC Samartex for annexing the Ghana Premier League title.

The Timber giants defied all odds to clinch the league title for the first time in their history, dethroning Medeama.

Okraku was absent during the coronation match between Samartex and Accra Lions at the Nsenkyire Park due to circumstances beyond control.

The Ghana FA leadership met the press last week in the Brong Ahafo Region to discuss issues regarding Ghana football at large.

However, Okraku seized the opportunity to visit Samartex and officially congratulate them for their Ghana Premier League title-winning feat.

“I’m happy to be here and I’m happy that I have a physical opportunity to say ‘ayekoo’ for being champions of Ghana. I think since you won the trophy I have not been able to be physically present. I really wanted to be at the coronation but again, circumstances beyond did not allow.

“You should be very proud of your achievement as individuals, group and for the community. For a team to come into the top flight and to be champion not long after is mean an achievement and it’s something that each one of you must be proud of.

“You achieved that because you stayed together as a team and worked together as a team and you fought for the trophy as a team and that is the essence of teamwork.

“Football is a team sport, it is not about one individual person, and you need the support of everybody to win,” he added.
