GFA Boss Kurt Okraku confirmed as CAF ExCo member

Ghana FA Boss Kurt Okraku has been confirmed as a member of the CAF Executive Committee after making his presence felt at the continental football governing body’s recent meetings he has attended.

The 50-year-old football administrator was handed the promotion following his impactful service as President of WAFU B after replacing Niger’s Djibrilla Hima Hamidou in May, 2021.

The sudden rise of the ex-Hearts of Oak Marketing and Communications Director in African football administration has redeemed the image of Ghana at CAF following the 15-year ban to ex-CAF Vice President Kwesi Nyantakyi in October 2018.

Kurt Okraku will serve on the CAF Executive Committee along with 5 other African regional football administrators including CECAFA Boss Wallace Karia of Tanzania, UNIFFAC Leader Jean Guy Mayolas of DR Congo, WAFU A Boss Mustapha Raji from Liberia and Libya FA Boss Alshelmani Abraheem.

The ex-GHALCA Administrative Manager has served 2 years and 7 months of his 4-year tenure after assuming office as GFA Boss on October 29, 2019.
