Pinnick, in a statement to Ghana Press on Thursday, expressed his satisfaction with the conduct of the election, saying, "I have received a report from my team on the ground in Ghana, and they have said everything went smoothly."

He went on to extend his congratulations to Kurt Okraku, highlighting the widespread support shown during the congress as an endorsement of Okraku's work. 

Pinnick remarked, "We want to congratulate Kurt for this election, and the massive show of support during today's congress shows the widespread endorsement of his work."

Furthermore, Pinnick reaffirmed FIFA's commitment to supporting Kurt Okraku and the broader Ghanaian football community in their efforts to advance and grow the sport in the country. His message underscored FIFA's dedication to the development and prosperity of football in Ghana.
