Former Ghana Football Association [GFA] boss, Kwesi Nyantakyi, says he has lost track of Ghana football.
The former CAF 1st vice president has been out of football activities following the airing of the ‘Number 12’ documentary by investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas.
Nyantakyi was banned for life from football in October 2018 and fined CHF 500,000 for breaches of Fifa’s ethics code.
He was found guilty of breaking Fifa rules relating to conflicts of interest, bribery and corruption, and commission after an investigation by the Ethics Committee of world football’s governing body.
Speaking in an interview, Mr. Nyantakyi admitted that he has taken a back seat adding that he is now practicing law.
“I have taken a back seat,” he told Kings GHTV Sports.
“I don’t know much about Ghana football now. I don’t follow as I used to when I was there.
“I don’t know [when I’ll come back to football]. I’m a lawyer and I have too many things doing now.”
However, after an appeal at CAS, Nyantakyi has had his lifetime ban reduced to 15 years.
Nyantakyi was named president of the GFA in 2005 and became head of the West African Football Union in 2011 after incumbent Amos Adamu was suspended following allegations of corruption.
Also a member of the Fifa Council, Nyantakyi resigned from his three senior positions after he was given a provisional 90-day ban by Fifa in June 2018.
