FIFA approves GFA’s $100k football programme for Colts clubs

FIFA has granted its endorsement to the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) $100,000 football program, designed to nurture budding talent within Colts clubs.

This green signal from FIFA not only underscores the GFA’s dedication to cultivating the upcoming generation of football prodigies but also signifies a pivotal advancement in uplifting grassroots football to a higher plane.

Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, President of GFA, disclosed during the 29th Session of the GFA Congress that FIFA Forward has allocated $100,000 to procure footballs for Colts teams, constituting a critical component of initiatives to rejuvenate the nation’s Colts Leagues.

This intervention stands as one among several policies sanctioned by the GFA Executive Council to provide support to Regional Football Associations in orchestrating grassroots Leagues across the nation.

A portion of the footballs will be designated as Size 4, designated for use by U13 and U15 Colts clubs, while the remainder will be Size 5, intended for U17 Colts clubs.
