Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Fred Pappoe, believes that the success of any national team hinges on a dedicated management committee.
His remarks come after the reformation of the Black Stars’ Management Committee, following the team’s failure to secure qualification for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
The newly appointed committee includes Dr. Randy Abbey as Chairman, Stephen Appiah as Vice Chairman, and Moses Armah, Richard Nsenkyire, and Samuel Aboabire as members.
Pappoe emphasized that while the names are significant, the committee’s success will depend on their commitment to the role.
“A well-functioning Management Committee is essential for the running of our football or national teams, but if the members are not committed, they will be there only in name,” Pappoe said in an interview with Sporty FM.
He further explained that the committee’s responsibilities encompass organizing, planning, preparing, managing camping and accommodation, providing counsel, and supporting the technical team.
“The duties of the Management Committee include organization, planning, preparation, camping, accommodation, counseling, and support for the technical team,” he added.
After their AFCON setback, the Black Stars will resume action in March, with World Cup qualifying matches against Chad and Madagascar.
