Former Black Stars coach Kwesi Appiah gets Ghana FA Executive Council nod at 2023 GFA Elections

Former Black Stars head coach James Kwesi Appiah will serve on the Ghana Football Association Executive Council following his election on Thursday.

The 63-year-old polled 10 votes to claim one of the five slots for the Ghana Premier League during the Ghana FA Elective Congress at the Golden Dream Hotel in the Northern Regional capital.

Appiah is expected to serve on the Ghana FA Exco in the next four years, keeping him at office until 2027.

The former Ghana coach filed his nomination for the position on the ticket of Ghanaian giants Asante Kotoko SC, following his appointment on the Interim Management Committee, currently running the club.

The ongoing Ghana Football Association election in Tamale is being closely monitored by a FIFA delegation in the Northern Regional capital.

Earlier, GFA President Kurt Okraku secured his re-election with an impressive 97.1% of the votes, with just two opposing votes cast against his retention. Other positions within the federation are yet to be decided.
