President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kurt Okraku, has spoken openly about his recent appointment as the 2nd Vice President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), describing it as both surprising and deeply humbling.
I’m surprised [to be appointed 2nd Vice President of CAF],” Okraku admitted in an interview on Asempa FM. “But this is an opportunity I’ve embraced—an opportunity I will not let go. I will do my utmost best in our desire to make football truly African and global.
In a move to demonstrate his full commitment to the new role, Okraku revealed that he has resigned from his position as President of the West African Football Union Zone B.
I stepped down from my position as WAFU B President so I can concentrate on Ghana and CAF, he explained, emphasizing his dedication to both his home nation and the broader African football agenda.
Reflecting on the support he has received, he acknowledged the trust placed in him by the CAF leadership.
CAF President Motsepe and the 54 member associations have given me a four-year mandate. I will give off my best during this period, but beyond that, I cannot tell what the future holds.”
