His nomination by Dr Motsepe was unanimously endorsed by the CAF Executive Committee during its meeting in Accra.
Kurt Okraku joins Morocco’s Faouzi Lekjaa, who steps in as First Vice President, replacing Senegal FA President Augustine Senghor.
Meanwhile, Gabon’s Pierre-Alain Mounguengui has been appointed as Third Vice President, tasked with strengthening the representation of Central Africa through his grassroots and diplomatic expertise.
DR Congo’s Bestine Kazadi Ditabala makes history as the Fourth Vice President, becoming a symbol of CAF’s renewed commitment to gender equality and inclusivity.
Mozambique’s Feizal Sidat, named as Fifth Vice President, brings a wealth of experience from his tenure as head of the Mozambican Football Federation, ensuring strong representation for Southern Africa.
The appointments highlight CAF’s strategic commitment to unity, diversity, and inclusion across all regions.
Under President Patrice Motsepe’s leadership, the new team is expected to drive African football into a future where no region or group is left behind.
