    Football consultant Neil Armstrong Mortagbe and Hearts of Oak’s scribe Ashford Tetteh Oku have not applied to be the next general secretary of the Ghana Football Association.
    The two administrators were strong candidates for the position to be vacated by Kofi Nsiah.
    But their decision not to apply for the post has left Kurt Okraku and Cudjoe Fianoo as the leading candidates for the job.
    Some of the other candidates pitching for the job are GFA Deputy General Secretary Isaac Addo and another GFA official Emmanuel Gyimah.
    Okraku, who holds an MBA in Football Administration from the prestigious Liverpool University in the UK, is the favourite for the job.
    His work for GHALCA as the administrative secretary has brought massive positive changes to the body representing clubs in Ghana.
    He is credited for the current format of the GHALCA Top Four competition, the President’s Cup and the return of Ghana’s FA Cup.
    Fianoo is also tipped by the experts for the job because of his long association of football administration in Ghana.
    His highest academic qualification is a Diploma in Journalism which leaves him behind Okraku but his experience in the game will count in his favour.
    The current term of Ghana FA scribe Kofi Nsiah comes to an end and his stay will not be extended.
