Coach James Kwesi Appiah has officially communicated his decision to temporarily suspend his role on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council. According to a reliable source from Kessben FM Sports, Appiah has submitted a formal letter to the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to notify them of this decision.
The move comes as Coach Appiah shifts his focus entirely to his duties as the head coach of the Sudan national football team. This decision allows him to dedicate his full attention to preparing Sudan for their crucial upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) 2025 qualifiers. Interestingly, one of the pivotal matches ahead will see Sudan face Ghana, Appiah’s home country, in a highly anticipated fixture.
Appiah’s role on the GFA Executive Council was a key position in Ghanaian football governance, but his commitment to ensuring Sudan’s successful qualification for AFCON 2025 has necessitated this temporary suspension. The decision is seen as a strategic move to avoid any potential conflict of interest and to maximize his performance with Sudan as they prepare for the important qualifiers.
As the AFCON qualifiers approach, all eyes will be on Appiah and his tactical plans to navigate Sudan through these critical matches, especially against his own nation’s team.
