Former Ghana coach Kwesi Appiah has temporarily stepped down from his position as an Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
Appiah has been notified by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) via the GFA to resign from his role ahead of the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.
“This situation is contrary to the CAF Statutes and the FIFA Code of Ethics”.
“For that reason and to preserve the integrity of the AFCON qualifiers, I urge you to take immediate action to resolve this conflict of interest, including, at the minimum, temporarily stepping down from one of the two roles until the conclusion of the competition.”
CAF’s request aims to avoid any potential conflict of interest.
Appiah is currently the head coach of the Sudanese national team while also serving as the GFA Executive Council.
However, Appiah was elected to the GFA Executive Council representing Asante Kotoko.
The first match in the doubleheader against Sudan is scheduled for October 10 at Accra Sports Stadium, followed by the return leg on October 14 at Martyrs of February Stadium in Libya.
