Former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Communications Director, Sannie Daara, has expressed strong support for the decision by GFA Congress to extend the presidential term limit from two to three terms.
Speaking to Sporty FM, Daara argued that eight years is insufficient for a football administrator to position Ghana advantageously on the global stage.
“If you know what football administration is and you know what it takes to position your country in such a way that your country will benefit, you won’t be able to do that in eight years.
Anybody with football administration knowledge will tell you that you will be shooting yourself in the foot,” he said.
He added that long-serving leadership is often key to gaining influence in football’s highest decision-making bodies.
“You will not have a table at the chair, where decisions are made. Look at the CAF vice presidents, all of them are into maybe their fourth terms.”
The amendment, approved by 114 out of 124 delegates, allows a GFA president to serve up to 12 years, provided they win the necessary re-elections.
