Massive Shake Up Hits GFA

Fred Pappoe has lost his place as the chairman of the prestigious Black Stars management committee as Ghana FA (GFA) boss Kwesi Nyantakyi takes over the position.

Pappoe’s exit is a shock but expected after he lost his bid to retain his position as the vice president of the GFA.

The tectonic shift in the management committees of the GFA saw several members losing their positions while many others move to the fore front of the administration of the game in the country.

Nyantakyi was faced with the delicate balancing act in choosing his new committee members as he had to appease his newly-elected executive committee members.

Pappoe has been one of the key members of the recent successes of the Black Stars but with Jordan Anagbla taking over the Ghana FA vice president, it was expected that he would occupy a key position on one of the committees.

Anagbla will serve as Nyantakyi’s vice on the powerful committee while football heavyweights, Felix Ansong of Liberty Professional and business mogul Moses Armah of Medeama are also new members on the Black Stars management committee.

Another top businessman Emmanuel Kyeremeh, the owner of big spenders Berekum Chelsea as well as Kwame Ofosu Bamfo (Sikkens), and Yaw Boateng-Gyan complete the membership of the prestigious committee.

In what could be described as a promotion, Randy Abbey moves to head the local Black Stars committee but loses his position as the chairman of the Black Meteors committee.

He will be assisted by Volta Regional RFA chairman Francis Dogbatse.

Abbey will also work as the chairman of the media committee where several journalists including the BBC’s Michael Oti Adjei have been named.

Hearts of Oak chief Fred Crentsil looks to have been demoted from the Black Queens chairmanship post but will take charge of the Black Starlets position.

Kudjo Fianoo, Desmond Frimpong-Manso, Jones Alhassan Abu, Chief Bakare and Oheneba Charles are the other members of the committee.

Despite his failures with the local Black Stars, George Afriyie was handed the very sensitive national U-20 team, the Black Satellites, the team that churns out Ghana’s next batch of superstars.

Nana Kwame Nketsia, Alhaji Braimah (Alhaji Hearts), Owoahene Acheampong, Kingsley Osei-Bonsu and Wahid Idrisu will serve as members.

Fred Crentsil takes over the U-17 committee reigns and would be assisted by Wilfred Osei (Parma). Ntow-Fianko , Sam Arday, Mohammed Alhassan, Selorm Fiador and Afotey Odai are the remaining members.
