The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced its plans to unveil a policy aimed at outlining the career pathway for young footballers in the country. During a press conference, Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku emphasized the significance of this move.
Okraku stated, “In Girls football, we have continued to make the right levels of investment. In the next few days, we will roll out a policy that will clearly define the career pathway of a female footballer. As we speak, if a young girl wakes up in the morning and wants to play football, there is no COLTS football for girls; they have to find their way, whether they are 12 years, or 10 years into Division One League football, this is not possible. So in the next few days, a clear pathway for our girls will also be made public.”
Additionally, Okraku confirmed that an U-15 tournament will be held in the months of May, June, and July to provide opportunities for younger girls to fulfill their dreams of playing football. He also highlighted the achievements of the Black Queens and the Princesses, expressing his commitment to support and invest in their success.
Furthermore, Okraku reassured that his administration will persist in investing in sports, particularly at the grassroots level. This move reflects the GFA’s dedication to developing and nurturing young talent in Ghana’s football industry.
