President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, has secured a seat on the Confederation of African Football (CAF) Executive Committee (EXCO).
His tenure will last four years, from 2025 to 2029.
Okraku was elected unopposed and will now be part of the 24-member committee responsible for overseeing African football.
His appointment reflects recognition of his leadership at the GFA, where he has prioritized transparency, grassroots football, women’s football, and youth development since taking charge in 2019.
With Ghana’s strong football tradition, his role on the CAF EXCO is expected to strengthen the country’s influence in shaping football policies across Africa.
He now joins a distinguished list of Ghanaians who have served on the committee, including Ohene Djan, Kobina Hagan, Nana Fredua Mensah, Samuel Okyere, and Kwesi Nyantakyi.
Meanwhile, Okraku’s journey in football administration began with his involvement in club football. He was the Executive Chairman of Dreams FC, a club he helped establish and develop.
His success at the club level paved the way for his election as GFA President, where he has focused on revitalizing domestic football, enhancing youth development, and promoting women’s football.
