The former Black Stars captain will play a pivotal role in fostering strong connections between players and management, ensuring effective communication and support for the national team. Appiah will work hand-in-hand with the committee’s Chairman, Dr. Randy Abbey, to provide the needed guidance and assistance for the Black Stars.

Dr. Randy Abbey, in addition to collaborating with Appiah, will spearhead engagements with the Ghanaian government and key stakeholders. His leadership will also extend to overseeing the administrative and logistical operations critical to the Black Stars’ success.

Joining the committee are Mr. Samuel Aboabire, Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association and a member of the GFA Executive Council, and Mr. Moses Armah, President of Medeama Sporting Club.
