Mr Ben Nunoo Mensah, President of the Ghana Olympic Committee (GOC), has declared that he will not seek re-election in the upcom­ing elective congress.

Associations and federations under the GOC are expected to elect new executives in April 2025 to spearhead their activities for the next four years.

Mr Nunoo Mensah, who has served two terms, said in a state­ment that it would be a pleasure to continue serving the country, but he has opted to do so in other ways.

“I wish to confirm that while it would have been an honour to con­tinue serving my nation and sports community in this capacity, there is a greater call to serve humanity in a different and equally fulfilling way. I accordingly want to move on and will not contest in the upcoming GOC elections,” said Mr Nunoo Mensah.

He also listed several accom­plishments during his time, such as the Amasaman OlympAfrica project, the rehabilitation of the Olympic House, and the provision of assistance to national federa­tions.

“I believe this is the right time to step aside so that others can con­tinue our progress. While it would be impossible to mention everyone by name, I ask God’s blessings upon those who have contributed to our collective success in various ways.

“Thank you all for your uniting support, and may God bless you and your sporting fraternity,” the statement added.

It is worth noting that under Mr Nunoo Mensah, Ghana, for the first time in 30 years, won a medal at the 2020 Olympic Games.

Mohammed Huzeinu, 21, has been sentenced to 100 days in prison by an Accra District Court for invading the pitch during Ghana’s match against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday, March 21, 2022.

Huzeinu’s actions disrupted the game, an offense that has potential financial consequences for the Association (GFA), as the Association is likely to be fined whenever such incidents occur.

Pitch invasions are considered a serious breach of security and disrupt the smooth running of games.

The sentencing serves as a strong warning to fans to respect stadium regulations and maintain order during matches.

The FA has consistently urged fans to refrain from such actions, emphasising the importance of discipline and adherence to match day protocols to avoid fines and maintain Ghana’s reputation in international football.
