FIFA has approved the Ghana Football Association’s FIFA Forward application for $100,000 worth of footballs for the development of Colts football in Ghana.
GFA President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku announced at the 29th Session of the GFA Congress that an amount of $100,000 via FIFA Forward has been allocated to purchase footballs for Colts clubs as part of efforts to revamp the Colts Leagues across the country.
This intervention is one of the many policies that have been approved by the GFA Executive Council to support the Regional Football Associations in the organization of the grassroots Leagues across the country.
Part of the footballs will be Size 4 to be used by U13 and U15 Colts clubs with the rest being Size 5 for U17 Colts clubs.
At the Ordinary Congress which was held at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology on Monday, July 10, 2023, the GFA President also announced the introduction of the National Juvenile Awards to honor top performers.
