The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has launched a 50% discount package for former Ghanaian players who wish to get the association’s essential coaching credentials.
The statement was made during the GFA 29th Ordinary Congress on Monday, July 10, 2023, at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Sciences and Technology (KNUST).
“Our heroes, our ex-national team players to be interested in coaching. We want to offer them facilities that would encourage them to go into coaching.
“One of the facilities will be a 50% discount in payment relating to the acquisition of coaching licenses to our ex-national team players,” Kurt Okraku, the president of the GFA said.
Okraku also stated that the association’s attempt to identify and nurture young talents into professional referees, nicknamed the ‘Catch Them Young Referee Policy,’ has been a success, with his organisation preparing to invest GHC 200,000.
It was also said, “We have referees managers across all ten regions, and they’ve been working without any monthly support.”
The Congress is already underway, with over 120 delegates present, and is anticipated to debate on various issues, including a three-term presidency for the president and an increased nomination price for the 2018 GFA election.
