Minister for Youth and Sports Mustapha Ussif has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to uphold the principles of transparency, fairness, and development in all their activities.

This statement was made during the 30th Ordinary Congress of the GFA, held at the Ghanaman Soccer Center of Excellence in Prampram.

The congress, which brought together key stakeholders in Ghanaian football, marked a significant milestone for the sport. GFA President Kurt Okraku inaugurated the construction of a new gym and swimming pool at the Soccer Center of Excellence, among other new projects.

Addressing the gathering, Minister Ussif emphasized the importance of maintaining high standards of governance.

“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," he said.

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