Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has been elected to the Executive Committee (EXCO) of the Confederation of African Football (CAF). His four-year term will run from 2025 to 2029.
Elected unopposed, Okraku now joins the 24-member committee that plays a crucial role in shaping African football. His selection is seen as a testament to his leadership at the GFA, where he has worked to revitalize Ghanaian football since assuming office in 2019.
Okraku’s commitment to transparency, grassroots development, women’s football, and youth programs has been widely recognized. His appointment is expected to strengthen Ghana’s football presence and contribute to the broader development of the sport across Africa.
He becomes the sixth Ghanaian to serve on the CAF Executive Committee, following in the footsteps of Ohene Djan, Kobina Hagan, Nana Fredua Mensah, Samuel Okyere, and Kwesi Nyantakyi.
