Ghanaian football administrator Patrick Akoto has added another feather to his cap after being named Assistant General Coordinator for the ongoing WAFU B U-17 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifying tournament in the Ivory Coast.
Akoto, who is currently in Yamoussoukro, has been actively involved in match coordination duties at the competition, which doubles as the qualification pathway to the U17 Africa Cup of Nations.
On Saturday, he played a key role in overseeing the fixtures between the Ivory Coast and Niger as well as the thrilling 1-1 draw between Ghana and Togo, where the Togolese finished with ten men.
He is also scheduled to help manage the upcoming clash between Burkina Faso and Benin.
Before joining the Ghana Football Association as Senior Manager of the Communications Unit, Akoto had a successful stint with Medeama SC, where he served as Communications Director.
During his tenure, the Tarkwa-based club won two FA Cup titles and the Ghana Premier League and made their maiden CAF Champions League appearance.
His appointment as Assistant General Coordinator underlines his growing reputation within regional and continental football circles.
