His new role places him in a powerful position to shape the future of African club football.

The Ghana FA boss has been a visible figure in African football governance, advocating for increased professionalism, transparency, and competitive integrity across all levels of the game.

Ghanaian football fans are viewing it as a testament to the country’s enduring presence and leadership within African football.
