Newly elected Ghana Football Association President Kurt Edwin Simeon Okraku has been presented with a special FIFA shirt after winning the FA elections.

The shirt was presented by FIFA's representatives on the Normalisation Committee lead by Luca Nicola, who is manager of Associations.

Kurt Okraku was elected President of the Ghana Football Association after George Afriyie reportedly conceded defeat after two rounds.

Okraku twice led the elections after getting 44 and 59 in the first and second rounds respectively.
