Reacting to the elections, Kurt Okraku emphasized the significance of this achievement, stating that Ghana now holds a powerful voice in shaping the future of football on the continent.
I think Ghana occupies a strategic space at the highest level of governance on the African continent. It’s a position that will undoubtedly aid the development of football. At the very least, we have a voice and that voice is very loud. He stated in an interview with Sporty FM.
Okraku’s appointment is seen as a major milestone for Ghanaian football, as it strengthens the country’s role in shaping policies and initiatives at the continental level.
The CAF Executive Committee is responsible for making key decisions regarding football development, governance, and competitions across Africa.
Okraku’s election is expected to enhance Ghana’s ability to influence major CAF policies and advocate for initiatives that benefit the country and the wider football community.
