Afriyie will come up against five other candidates who are also vying for the position of GFA president.

They are Kurt Okraku, Amanda Clinton, Frederick Pappoe, George Ankoma Mensah and Nana Yaw Amponsah.

In a previous interview with Kumasi-based Sikka FM, Afriyie said he is the right man to turn around the fortunes of the country’s football.

“I don't fear delegates, I trust them," he boldly declared, adding that "I'm part of the old stock. I know what we went through, and where we want to go.”

The GFA elections is set to come off on October 25, 2019.
