James Kwasi Appiah, the Technical Director of Asante Kotoko, has expressed his commitment to assisting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in addressing technical matters following his election to the GFA Executive Council during the 2023 GFA Elections held earlier today at the Global Dream Hotel in Tamale.
Appiah secured a four-year term as one of the five representatives from the Ghana Premier League on the influential council, receiving 10 out of 18 votes in a competitive race. Meanwhile, GFA President Kurt Okraku was reelected unopposed for a second term with overwhelming support from voters.
Appiah, the former head coach of the Black Stars, is the sole new member on the Executive Council. The remaining four Premier League Executive Council members are incumbents, including Dr. Randy Abbey, Frederick Acheampong, Kingsley Osei Bonsu, and Nana Oduro Sarfo.
In an interview with Citi Sports, Appiah stated, “For some time now the GFA had never put any technical person in their committee and football it has got to do with technical issues and the main fact that am in there I will be able to help the GFA to make sure they employ the right technical people.”
He emphasized that he possesses various attributes that can contribute to the progress of the GFA, stating, “There are so many attributes I can give to the GFA that will help the GFA surge forward.”
