George Afriyie reticent on second coming in next GFA Presidential race

George Afriyie, president of Susubiribi Sporting Club, is reluctant to disclose any plans of a comeback in the contest for the Ghana Football Association presidency.

In the 2019 elections, the previous FA vice president ran but was defeated by Mr. Kurt Okraku.

Numerous football administrators are anticipated to run for president since Mr. Okraku’s term ends in October of this year.

When asked if he would run for president of the GFA in the upcoming elections, Mr. Afriyie declined to say yes or no.

“As to whether I will contest or not, I cannot confirm but I know that our league is ongoing, the Black Queens are also preparing for their qualifiers and by June, the football season will end,” the former Black Stars Management Committee chairman told Kumasi based Sompa FM.

“By October 2023, Kurt Okraku must hand over power to himself or to somebody and that is what is in our status.

“Definitely, there would be timelines for elections but as we speak, there is none and as to whether I am preparing or not, time will tell,” he added.
