Ghana Football Association’s President Kurt Okraku has been retained as WAFU Zone B chair in an elective congress of WAFU Zone B that took place in Cote D’Ivoire on Saturday.

Okraku was re-elected unopposed after no other candidate filed nominations to contest to lead the sub-regional body.

The Ghanaian took charge of the regional body last year following the decision of Djibrilla Hima Hamidou of Niger to step down in May 2021.

The 51-year-old stay in the position until October 2026.

“I want to thank our members for reposing the trust in me to lead this very important zonal body into the near future with challenges and so much promise,” Okraku said in his acceptance speech during Saturday’s meeting.

“Over the past one year we have organised competitions and training programmes aimed at making WAFU B strong in all areas of football.

“Together with my colleagues we have decided to revive some of our former competitions like the clubs’ championship and make the Wafu B Cup of Nations stronger.

“We will also organise events including a new awards programme to honour players from our region who are making us proud on the pitch.

“There will be more training programmes for administrators, referees, medics and media within the region to help uplift the game in other areas too.” He concluded.
