George Afriyie Backs Kim Lars Bjorkegren appointment to Black Stars Technical Team ahead of the FIFA World Cup
Former GFA Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, George Kwasi Afriyie has welcomed the inclusion of Kim Lars Bjorkegren in the Black Stars technical team for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
Bjorkegren currently the head coach of the Black Queens, is among five new additions to the senior national team’s backroom staff.
He will serve as assistant coach alongside French trainer Alain Ravera.
Speaking on Asempa FM, Afriyie backs the move and thrown his support to the new additions.
“Kim Lars Bjorkegren in the Black Stars’ World Cup technical team is not a bad move. Coaching the Black Queens doesn’t make him less qualified,” he said.
“A 20-man technical team for the Black Stars makes sense. We’ve delayed this modernisation for too long.”
The Black Stars will continue preparation in March for friendly matches against Austria and Germany.
The team will assemble in May facing Mexico before opening their World Cup campaign against Panama, followed by games against England and Croatia in Group L.
