Nyantakyi to step down for NFF boss Amaju Pinnick
Ghana Football Association president Kwesi
Nyantakyi will step down and support NFF president
Amaju Pinnick for the CAF Executive Committee,
MTNFootball has reported.

But Pannick, wealthy businessman will support
Nyantakyi to retain his seat on the FIFA Council.

Both the CAF executive committee and FIFA Council
polls are slated for March 2017.

''Pinnick and Nyantakyi are from the same zone and
he has now hammered out a plan for Nyantakyi to
step down for him for the CAF position, while he
will fully support him for his re-election for a
seat on the FIFA Council,'' a top source
informed.

Pinnick flew Nyantakyi back on his chartered
flight from the recent AWCON final in Cameroon for
them to attend a sports award in Lagos together.

Nyantakyi was also among the 18 football
federation presidents who Pinnick hosted during
the visit of FIFA boss Gianni Infantino to Nigeria
in July.

A lawyer and banker, the 48-year-old Nyantakyi has
been GFA president since December 2005.

He was first elected on the CAF executive
committee in February 2011.

He is also the president of the sub-regional WAFU
B and owns Ghanaian club Wa All Stars.
