Stephen Appiah to join Dr. Randy Abbey on new Black Stars management committee – Report

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is preparing to unveil a revamped management committee for the Black Stars, according to Ghanasoccernet.com.

This development follows the dissolution of the previous management team after Ghana’s failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.

The decision to reconstitute the management committee comes on the heels of a disappointing run at the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast, where the Black Stars exited at the group stage for the second consecutive time.

In an earlier adjustment, Dr. Randy Abbey was brought into the committee, but the team’s failure to secure qualification for the 2025 AFCON led the GFA to disband the group entirely.

According to a source, the GFA is finalizing plans to announce the new team, which will feature Dr. Randy Abbey as Chairman.

Former Black Stars captain Stephen Appiah is expected to join the committee, alongside FC Samartex president Dr. Richard Duah Nsenkyire and Greater Accra Regional Football Association chairman Samuel Aboabire.

In addition to the new management structure, the GFA is reportedly considering appointing a technical director to support Black Stars head coach Otto Addo. The aim is to bolster the team’s preparations for the resumption of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.

Following their underwhelming AFCON qualifiers, the Black Stars will be eager to bounce back with strong performances in their upcoming World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Madagascar, scheduled for March this year.
