Ghana Football Association presidency race
Overview
Speculation is increasing regarding potential candidates for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) presidency ahead of the October 2027 elections. Following reports that incumbent president Kurt Okraku may not seek a third term, several high-profile figures have been linked to the race, including Asamoah Gyan, Samuel Annim Addo, Ralph Gyambrah, and Elloeny Amande.
André Ayew, the former national team captain and current CEO of Nania FC, has emerged as a central figure in the discussions. While Ayew has not officially declared his intention to run, he has noted that various football stakeholders have encouraged him to enter the race. He has received endorsements from veteran broadcaster Kwame Sefa Kayi and Bechem United president Kingsley Owusu Achau, who described Ayew as a “mature and capable leader” with necessary experience from domestic and international football.
