GFA Unveils Inaugural Floodlights at Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence

In a significant milestone for Ghanaian football, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has successfully installed and inaugurated the first set of floodlights at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence.

The official commissioning took place on Wednesday, April 24, 2024, with the President of the Association, Kurt E S Okraku, receiving the keys to the power plant responsible for supplying the floodlights. In a symbolic gesture, Okraku then activated the switch, marking the formal commencement of the floodlights’ operation.

This pivotal initiative, funded through the FIFA Forward Programme, was executed by OVI Enschede, a renowned Dutch firm specializing in electrical installations.

Expressing gratitude, Okraku extended appreciation to FIFA for their unwavering support towards Ghanaian football. He underscored FIFA’s consistent investment in Ghana Football through the FIFA Forward Programme, highlighting it as a clear demonstration of the organization’s confidence in the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

“The installation of these inaugural floodlights signifies a significant advancement for the Centre, enabling training sessions to be conducted both during daylight hours and after sunset. This development allows our players to engage in night-time training sessions, while also extending opportunities for refereeing and coaching training programs well into the evenings,” remarked Okraku.

“I am truly delighted to witness the realization of our vision to enhance the facilities at Prampram.
