Bechem United's president, Kingsley Owusu Achau, has expressed support for the idea of former Ghana captain Andre Ayew running for the position of Ghana Football Association (GFA) president. Ayew, currently the chief executive of Nania FC, has been speculated to be a potential candidate for the GFA presidency next year. Although he has not officially announced his intention to contest the position, several football personalities, including Owusu Achau, have reportedly expressed confidence in his capabilities.
Owusu Achau praised Ayew's maturity, extensive experience in both Ghanaian and international football, which he believes could make him a well-suited candidate for the role. Owusu Achau stated, "Well, I believe Dede Ayew is mature, and he has seen it all in Ghana football and world football at large. So if he says he wants to be GFA president, it is refreshing.
It’s okay because he knows he is capable of doing it." Ayew, a member of Ghana's victorious 2009 FIFA U-20 World Cup-winning team, had a successful playing career in Europe and has led the Black Stars at major international tournaments. If Ayew decides to run for GFA president, he would join a list of other potential candidates, including Samuel Annim Addo, Ralph Gyambrah, Elloeny Amande, and George Afriyie.
The GFA presidential election is anticipated to garner significant attention as stakeholders deliberate on the future of football governance in Ghana.
