Professor Twumasi took up the position of Director General on December 10, 2019, succeeding Robert Sarfo Mensah, who resigned amidst allegations stemming from the ‘number 12’ exposé by Anas Aremeyaw Anas and Tiger Eye PI.

During his tenure, Professor Twumasi has faced intense scrutiny for his management of Ghana's various stadiums, leading to widespread criticism from football fans and calls for his removal.

Recently, Professor Twumasi's political aspirations suffered a setback when he failed to secure the nomination to represent the New Patriotic Party (NPP) as a parliamentary candidate in the 2024 Parliamentary Elections, receiving only 7 votes in the Ahafo Ano South West constituency.
