Mr. Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) says Ghana is on a good path towards developing football at all levels.
In a meeting with Mr. Gianni Infantino, President of FIFA, Mr. Okraku highlighted Ghana’s progress since assuming office as President.
He said “I think that the Ghanaian game was at a low before 2019. Fast forward 2019, 2020 and now, and I think that we’ve made big inroads. Bringing all our competitions back.
“Bringing the desire and the passion of the people back. All our national teams are now competitive.
We’ve gone ahead to also introduce more youth competitions, more youth national teams,” he said.
The football administrator noted that despite these achievements, the association had also made strives in youth and domestic football across the country.
The GFA President urged that in order to make football attractive in Africa, it was necessary to harness the potential and the positives of the work done and improve on it.
He showered praises on FIFA for its support to the Ghana Football Association.
“I would say thank you to FIFA for the support via various schemes; through the FIFA Forward programme and the many other interventions that FIFA has introduced. Working with the office in Senegal with Gelson Fernandes and Solomon Mudege and the team, we are very clear on the support and necessary areas.”
