Veteran football administrator, Abdul Salam Yakubu, says George Afriyie is the right candidate to lead the Ghana Football Association (GFA).<\/p>\n

Mr Afriyie, who lost to Kurt Okraku during the 2019 GFA Elections, has filed his nomination to contest for the upcoming elections.<\/p>\n

Incumbent, Kurt Okraku, who has also filed to seek re-election will see his mandate expire later this year with elections expected to be held on Wednesday, September 27 in Tamale.<\/p>\n

However, Abdul Salam Yakubu, who is the President of New Edubiase, said George Afriyie is the right person to lead the country\u2019s football governing body, insisting he will win the elections.<\/p>\n

According to him, the former Black Stars Management Committee member is the person that can unite the football family and develop the game.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am still part of the George Afriyie camp because I believe his leadership qualities would have helped our football to grow to a greater level than what we are currently seeing,\u201d he told Kumasi-based FOX FM.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need someone who will unite the football family, someone who will develop our game and that is George Afriyie. He will win the elections,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the Executive Council of the GFA has confirmed the 2023 Elective Congress will be held at Global Dream Hotel.<\/p>\n
