"I have directed the NSA to liaise with the GFA to obtain a license from CAF for the various sports stadia [in Tarkwa and Legon], which have been upgraded," Minister Mustapha Ussif stated.

Meanwhile, Minister Ussif has charged the Ghana FA to be transparent and fair in their dealings for the development of football in the country.

"The future of Ghana football does not rely solely on infrastructure; the FA should also focus on transparency, fairness, and development," he added.
