Asamoah Gyan is a gift to sports in Ghana – Kurt Okraku
The President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, has labeled Ghana’s top scorer in history as a gift to the country.
Kurt Okraku said this when he graced the launch of the All Regional Games being spearheaded by the former Black Stars captain on Tuesday in Accra.
Asamoah Gyan's proposed initiative will involve regional trials in June 2024 to select the top athletes in each region, who will then compete in national championships in November 2024.
"I am happy for the invitation to be part of this historic event. But most importantly, I am very happy to get the chance to speak about one special person I've known in our times - the Baby Jet, Asamoah Gyan," President Okraku said.
"The man who has brought us here (Asamoah Gyan) is a gift to sports in our dear country. Asamoah distinguished himself as one of our very best footballers. He chalked all the successes one can think about in football.
“He did not only chalk successes, he went beyond that to invest in other sporting disciplines including but not limited to football and boxing. I am speaking about what I know! What I do not know about I daresay, are even more," the GFA boss went on to say.
