GFA appoint Stephen Appiah as Vice Chairman of Black Stars Management Committee

Former captain of Ghana’s senior national football team, Stephen Appiah has been appointed Vice Chairman of the newly formed Management Committee of the Black Stars.

This follows the dissolution of the previous committee led by Mark Addo, due to the team’s unsatisfactory performance in the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Ivory Coast.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced that Dr. Randy Abbey will chair the new committee, with Appiah stepping in as Vice Chairman.

Appiah, who captained the Black Stars to their historic first World Cup appearance in 2006 and led them again in the 2010 World Cup, has previously served as the team manager after his retirement.

The new committee also includes Samuel Aboabire, Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association and GFA Executive Council member, as well as Moses Armah, President of Medeama Sporting Club.

Aboabire and Armah will oversee operations and matchday activities, ensuring the interests of sponsors and partners are well managed. Additionally, Richard Nsenkyire, President of FC Samartex 1996, is part of the committee.

This restructuring is part of efforts to strengthen the Black Stars’ preparations for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

After a disappointing 2025 AFCON qualifying campaign, the team is focused on improving its performance, with crucial matches against Chad and Madagascar scheduled for March.
