President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, says he is only focused on his immediate duties with no attention to the future following his appointment as the Second Vice President of the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Okraku was named to that position on Saturday, April 26, during Dr Patrice Motsepe’s visit to Ghana on the heels of the 2025 African Schools Football Championship.
Okraku, who was elected onto the CAF Executive Committee unopposed in March, climbs the ladder of leadership within the continent's football governing body.
Quizzed on whether he would appreciate the opportunity to further move up, the GFA President said he has no idea about the future.
"My hope is to serve the GFA. I stepped down from my position as WAFU B President so I can concentrate more on Ghana and CAF," he told Asempa FM.
"My intention is to serve and fully utilise the opportunity that I’ve been given. I don’t think about tomorrow."
Okraku joins Faouzi Lekjaa, who will serve as the First Vice President, replacing Senegal FA President Augustine Senghor, while Kurt Okraku takes over from Ahmed Yahya.
Gabon’s Pierre-Alain Mounguengui, appointed 3rd Vice President, represents Central Africa, highlighting the need to integrate this underdeveloped region into the continental football mainstream. His diplomatic approach and grassroots focus strengthen CAF’s unity efforts.
DR Congo’s Bestine Kazadi Ditabala, the Fourth Vice-President, makes history as a pioneering female leader. A lawyer and football administrator, her appointment reflects CAF’s commitment to gender equality and inclusivity.
Mozambique’s Feizal Sidat, named Fifth Vice-President, brings decades of experience from his time as President of the Mozambican Football Federation. His expertise ensures strong representation for Southern Africa.
