Kwesi Nyantakyi begins his second term in office as President of West African Football Union (Wafu Zone B) after he was retained unopposed.

The Ghana Football Association President was the only candidate for the position during Wednesday's Congress of the sub-regional body in Kumasi, Ghana.

Nyantakyi, 44, will serve in office as Wafu Zone B President for another two years. But the tenure of his new mandate might be extended to four years if a proposal before next year's Congress is approved.

Applauded by delegates at the Wafu Congress for helping to revive the competitions in the region, Nyantakyi, who has been very instrumental in the organization of the GOtv Wafu Cup on-going in Kumasi with the final on Thursday between hosts Ghana and Senegal has promised more tournaments from next year and courses for coaches as well as referees in the sub-region.

“I am happy to inform delegates that our annual Wafu competitions have come to stay. In spite of our limited financial resources we are determined to making it successful every year,” Nyantakyi told delegates.

"We have negotiated a sponsorship agreement with SuperSport to cover the Wafu Cup for the next three years.

“The Wafu Nations Cup will be dedicated to competitions for the senior teams for men and women and the youth or age group competitions.

“The clubs championships will look at developing club football in the sub region. Alongside these competitions, we will undertake clinics for coaches and referees.”

Theodore Sawaduga of Burkina Faso and Nigeria’s Aminu Maigari retained their places as vice-presidents while Togo's Gabriel Ameyi won the position of the third vice-president.

Meanwhile, the Wafu Congress approved a petition to be sent to FIFA to urge the world governing body to increase the number of African countries at the World Cup.

The Congress also unanimously resolved to support Ivory Coast’s bid to host the 2019 or 2021 Africa Cup of Nations.
