The West African Football Union (WAFU) Zone B has appointed three Ghanaians, Jamil Maraby, Alex Kotey and Osei Kwadwo Adow, to its newly constituted committees, marking a significant milestone in the sub-regional body’s governance and administrative evolution.

The appointments were confirmed following the successful 18th Ordinary General Assembly of WAFU B, held in Rabat, where member associations approved the establishment of a comprehensive committee structure aimed at strengthening institutional capacity and professionalism.

Jamil Maraby, Director of Marketing at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has been named Chairperson of the Marketing Committee, a three-member body tasked with enhancing commercial growth, brand visibility and strategic partnerships for football development across the zone.

Alex Kotey, the GFA’s Referees Manager, has been appointed as a member of the WAFU B Referees Committee, where he will contribute his extensive experience toward improving officiating standards and referee development within the sub-region.

Chairman of the GFA Disciplinary Committee, Osei Kwadwo Adow, has been selected as a member of the WAFU B Appeals Committee, reinforcing the body’s commitment to judicial integrity and due process.

In total, seven committees, Disciplinary, Appeals, Referees, Marketing, Women’s Football, Development and Finance, have been officially constituted, each comprising a chairperson and two members.

This marks the first time in the history of WAFU Zone B that such a structured, comprehensive and professional committee framework has been implemented.

The move represents a major step forward in strengthening governance, professionalising internal mechanisms and laying a sustainable foundation for long-term football development across the region.
