Kwame Sefa Kayi Really Wants Andre Ayew To Become GFA President

According to a report by JoyNews today being Friday, October 23, 2026, Veteran Ghanaian broadcaster Kwame Sefa Kayi has expressed his readiness to support former Black Stars captain André Ayew if he decides to contest for the presidency of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The broadcaster’s comments have added to the ongoing discussions about the future leadership of Ghana football, with different stakeholders sharing their views on individuals they believe could contribute to the development of the sport.

Sefa Kayi reportedly made his position known during a discussion on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo programme with sports journalist Dan Kwaku Yeboah.

During the conversation, he indicated that he would be willing to back Ayew should the former national team captain decide to enter the race for the top position at the football governing body.

His declaration reflects the interest some members of the public have shown in the possibility of football personalities becoming involved in the administration of the game. Ayew has spent several years representing Ghana at major international competitions and has served as captain of the senior national team.

Throughout his career, the forward has been associated with the Black Stars during important tournaments, giving him considerable experience within the national team setup.

He has also remained connected to Ghanaian football through his involvement with FC Nania, a club founded by his father, former Ghana international Abedi Pele.

Despite the growing conversation surrounding his possible political future in football administration, Ayew has not officially announced a decision to contest the GFA presidency. Discussions about his potential candidacy therefore remain speculative until he makes a formal declaration.

The GFA presidency is an important position within Ghanaian football, as the association oversees the organisation and development of the sport, including national teams and domestic competitions.

Sefa Kayi’s comments have consequently brought further attention to the question of who could lead the association in the coming years. His support, however, represents his personal position and does not establish whether Ayew will eventually enter the contest.

As conversations about the future of Ghana football continue, attention will remain on Ayew and whether he chooses to move from playing the game to taking on a leadership role in its administration.
