A New Era Begins

After the disappointment of failing to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON), Ghanaian football is undergoing a major transformation. The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has disbanded the previous Black Stars Management Committee and appointed a new six-member team determined to restore the nation’s footballing pride.

Led by Dr. Randy Abbey, the committee brings together experienced football minds, including former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah, who has been named Vice Chairman and Player Relations Officer. The legendary midfielder, who played a pivotal role in Ghana’s historic 2006 World Cup qualification, is expected to inspire the next generation of stars.

Speaking on Sporty FM, GFA spokesperson Henry Asante Twum revealed the committee’s strong stance on demanding better performances.

> “They have had their first meeting, and I know that a lot of things will change going forward. They are committed to pushing for results, and they have made that very clear,” he stated.

The committee also includes Samuel Aboabire, chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association, and Moses Armah, president of Medeama SC, both overseeing matchday operations and partnerships. Richard Nsenkyire, president of FC Samartex 1996, will handle special duties.

With a fresh team in place, the Black Stars are set to embark on a new journey—one driven by accountability, ambition, and the pursuit of excellence.
