GFA Reshapes Black Stars Leadership After AFCON Disappointment

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is set to announce a revamped management committee for the Black Stars, aiming to steer the team towards future success following recent setbacks.

This restructuring comes in the aftermath of Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco and a disappointing group-stage exit at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast—the second consecutive early exit for the national team.

To revive the Black Stars’ fortunes, the GFA has dissolved the previous management team and is finalizing a new committee. Dr. Randy Abbey, who was introduced as part of earlier adjustments, will serve as Chairman of the new group. Joining him are former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah, renowned for his leadership on and off the pitch, FC Samartex president Dr. Richard Duah Nsenkyire, and Greater Accra Regional Football Association chairman Samuel Aboabire.

The GFA is also considering appointing a technical director to support head coach Otto Addo. This move aims to strengthen the team’s preparations for the resumption of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers in March, where Ghana will face Chad and Madagascar.

With fresh leadership and strategic planning, the Black Stars are eager to bounce back, restore confidence, and reignite the passion of Ghanaian football fans.
