Ghana’s National Men’s Football Team, the Black Stars, has a newly constituted Management Committee following their disappointing 2025 AFCON qualification campaign.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) dissolved the previous Management Committee, chaired by GFA Vice President Mark Addo, after Ghana’s elimination from the qualification race was confirmed.
The committee, which is tasked with overseeing the administrative and logistical aspects of the team, will be chaired by Dr. Randy Abbey, an Executive Council member of the GFA.
In addition to chairing the committee, Dr. Abbey will lead engagement with the government and other stakeholders. Former Captain of the Black Stars, Stephen Appiah, will serve as Vice-Chairman, supporting Dr. Abbey, while also focusing on Player Relations.
Other members of the committee include Chairman of the Greater Accra Regional Football Association and an Executive Council member of the GFA, Samuel Aboabire, as well as President of Medeama Sporting Club, Moses Armah. Both members, Aboabire and Armah, will be responsible for operations and matchday activities while ensuring that the interests of sponsors, partners and other collaborators are well taken care of.
Richard Nsenkyire, President of FC Samartex 1996, the 2023/2024 Ghana Premier League Champions, is a member responsible for Special Duties.
The Management Committee’s duties will include the overall effective management and setting the strategic plan and activities of the team, serving as a link between the Technical Team and the GFA, ensuring adequate camping arrangements, providing logistical support, and paying regular visits to the team in camp.
The committee will, in consultation with the Head Coach and Technical Team, prepare and ensure the team’s adherence to activity schedules for all matches and tournaments.
Additionally, the committee will be responsible for following up on the release of funds for team operations from the Ministry of Sports, ensuring the best travelling arrangements are in place; and that members of the team act in a manner worthy of ambassadors of Ghana.
Furthermore, the Management Committee will ensure that appropriate policies and procedures are put in place for the effective management and support of the playing body and officials of the team; as well as for the maintenance of a cordial relationship between the committee, the Technical Team and the playing body.
The committee will also interface with the Marketing and Communications Departments of the GFA to ensure effective and efficient delivery of all commitments to sponsors and partners, and seamless communication about the team respectively.
