Head Coach of Sudan national team, Kwasi Appiah has temporarily resigned from his position as an Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) following a directive from the Confederation of African Football, CAF.

The former Black Stars coach who was still serving on his home country’s FA Executive Council, is set to face his former side in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

To avoid any potential conflict of interest since Appiah would be working for two different associations involved in the same competition, CAF directed he temporarily resigned from his post.

The continent’s football governing body informed Appiah through the GFA to step down from either of his roles prior to the 2025 AFCON qualifiers between Ghana and Sudan until the conclusion of the inclusion justifiers.

“This situation is contrary to the CAF Statutes and the FIFA Code of Ethics.

“For that reason and to preserve the integrity of the AFCON qualifiers, I urge you to take immediate action to resolve this conflict of interest, including, at the minimum, temporarily stepping down from one of the two roles until the conclusion of the competition,” CAF said in a letter to Kwesi Appiah.

On the back of this directive, the former Black Stars coach has temporarily resigned from his Executive Council duties until November.

Appiah took charge of Sudan’s Falcons of Jediane in 2023 and subsequently won six competitive matches with the team, a feat he is hoping to achieve against Ghana on Thursday, October 10, 2024 in the first-leg of the qualifiers at the Accra Sports Stadium.

  4. Today, while I was at work, my sister stole my iPad and tested to see if it can survive a thirty foot drop, just so she can be a youtube sensation. My apple ipad is now destroyed and she has 83 views. I know this is completely off topic but I had to share it with someone!
