Alhaji Akanbi, a distinguished board member of Hearts of Oak, has officially announced his intention to nominate himself for a position on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council.
This seasoned football administrator is vying for a seat on the GFA Executive Council under the banner of Hearts of Oak.
Sources indicate that Alhaji Akanbi was designated as Hearts of Oak’s representative for the Executive Council during a recent stakeholders meeting held in Accra.
The GFA has already disclosed that the filing fee for the Executive Council candidacy is set at Gh¢15,000. Presently, there are more than 42 individuals in contention for coveted positions within the upper echelons of Ghana’s football governing body.
However, only eleven individuals will ultimately be elected to serve on the GFA Exco during the imminent elections.
The GFA Executive Council makeup is anticipated to include five delegates from the Premier League, three from the Division One, two from the regional football associations, and a representative from the Women’s League. Additionally, a designated slot will be reserved for the incumbent President of the Ghana Football Association.
