FIFA have cleared Ghana FA President Kwesi Nyantakyi to stand the governing body's top executive election slated for September 29 in Cairo.
Nyantakyi is eligible to contest for a position at the FIFA council after passing an integrity check carried out by the FIFA Review Committee in accordance with Annexe 1 of the new FIFA Governance Regulations.
Under the new FIFA reform laws, persons who hold or seek to hold an official FIFA position, must undergo an integrity check prior to their election or re-election.
And failure to pass the check would have disqualified the CAF executive member.
“We kindly inform you that the Review Committee has come to the conclusion that, based on the information available, the Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi meets the eligibility requirements and can be admitted as a candidate,” Miguel Poiares Maduro, Chairman of the FIFA Review Committee, wrote in a letter to CAF.
He will compete with seven African football leaders for the two seats available.
