Former Ghana Football Association president, Kwesi Nyantakyi, has identified guiding the Black Stars to their first-ever World Cup qualification as the pinnacle of his achievements during his tenure.
Nyantakyi, the former owner of Wa All Stars, played a pivotal role in leading Ghana to the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where the team reached the Round of 16 after impressive performances against the Czech Republic and the United States in the group stage.
Reflecting on his time as the president of the football association, Nyantakyi considers the qualification for the 2006 World Cup as his greatest accomplishment.
Ghana continued to participate in subsequent global tournaments in 2010 and 2014 in South Africa and Brazil, respectively, under Nyantakyi's leadership.
“Qualifying for the World Cup in Germany was my greatest achievement,” he said in an interview with Bola Ray on Starr FM in Accra.
Despite his successes, Nyantakyi faced challenges and ultimately resigned from his positions at the GFA and CAF, receiving a subsequent ban from FIFA following the release of the investigative documentary "Number 12" by Anas Aremeyaw Anas in 2018.
