The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that footballs procured through the FIFA Forward programme to develop Colts’ football in the country have arrived.

This was announced by the football association on Thursday, January 25.

“The $100,000 worth of footballs, which were procured by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) through the FIFA Forward programme for the development of Colts Football in the country, has arrived in the country,” parts of the communique from the GFA said.

Following the arrival of the footballs, the GFA is expected to clear them from the port and distribute them to the Regional Football Associations (RFAs).

The Regional Football Association will then distribute the footballs to their Colts Clubs across the various regions.

“Representatives from the various RFAs will soon be invited to the GFA Secretariat to pick up their share of the footballs for their respective regions,” the GFA communique added.

According to the GFA, 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 grassroots football 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 Colt clubs.
