Kwesi Appiah has temporarily stepped down from his position on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council due to a conflict of interest ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
As head coach of Sudan’s national football team, Appiah made this decision following a directive from the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Ghana and Sudan are set to face off in crucial AFCON qualifying matches, prompting concerns about fairness and integrity. To avoid any potential bias, Appiah has opted to focus solely on his coaching responsibilities with Sudan, a role critical to their 2025 AFCON qualification hopes.
His resignation from the GFA Executive Council will last until the end of November 2024, after which he plans to resume his duties.
This decision has sparked discussions on social media, where many have praised Appiah for taking the ethical step to ensure transparency in the competition.
Sports commentators have emphasized the importance of maintaining professional integrity during such high-stakes matches.
