Ghana FA Boss Nyantakyi appointed FIFA Foundation Board Member

The Ghana Football Association boss Kwesi Nyantakyi has been appointed FIFA Foundation Board member.

Nyantakyi was appointed Friday October 27, when FIFA Council convened in Kolkata, India, and decided on a few important elements related to the FIFA World Cup™ – for both next year’s edition in Russia and the future of football’s showpiece competition.

The meeting in Kolkata covered a wide array of topics and saw the FIFA Council passing a number of important decisions, including the establishment of the FIFA Foundation, with the purpose of providing a solid legal and institutional basis for FIFA’s social development initiatives.

Later in the year, the FIFA Council will appoint a selection of respected personalities – from football and other areas of society – as additional members of the Foundation Board.
