George Afriyie, the former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association, has announced his candidacy for the position of GFA President.
Details of his bid are expected to be announced on Sunday, June 25, 2023.
With the campaign theme “Empowering Progress: Beacon of Leadership and Transformation,” Afriyie aims to bring about positive change within the organization.
Having previously vied for the presidency in the 2019 elections, Afriyie fell short of victory, with Kurt Okraku emerging as the winner.
Undeterred by the setback, the owner and President of Tafo-based, Planners Athletic Club is now determined to once again pursue the esteemed role of GFA boss.
With Kurt Okraku’s mandate ending in October 2023, it is expected that several football administrators will come up to contest for the seat of the next FA President.

The Ghana Football Association is yet to announce the exact date for the elections.
However, the elections modalities are expected to be announced soon as football administrators will be at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Kumasi on July 10, 2023 for the 29th Ordinary Congress of the association.
