Kwasi Appiah shouldn't resign from GFA Executive Council - Saani Daara

Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Saani Daara, has urged ex-Ghana coach James Kwasi Appiah to retain his position on the GFA Executive Council (ExCo), despite growing calls for his resignation.

This stance comes amid concerns over Appiah's dual role, particularly after Ghana's Black Stars were drawn with Sudan, the team Appiah currently manages, in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers.

Although GFA regulations do not explicitly forbid such dual roles, there are concerns about potential conflicts of interest. Nevertheless, Saani Daara believes that Appiah's dual role could significantly benefit Ghanaian football.

"Kwasi Appiah shouldn't resign as a member of the GFA Executive Council. His position in charge of Sudan and as a member of the ExCo will greatly benefit Ghanaian football. For instance, three Sudanese players are now joining Kotoko, thanks to his ingenuity," Saani Daara told Joy Sports.

"The learning experiences he gains in Sudan will be brought back as a Ghanaian to impact Ghanaian football. I don't see anything wrong with that," he added.
