Accra, Ghana – The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has moved to address growing concerns from football clubs regarding the ownership and management of buses provided to them. This comes in the wake of reports of a breakdown involving Young Apostles FC’s team bus, sparking questions about the process of transferring legal ownership to the clubs.

Speaking on Peace FM, GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum clarified the association’s stance and outlined steps being taken to resolve the matter. He stressed the importance of ensuring all buses are legally registered under the respective clubs to avoid complications, particularly with insurance claims.

“It is not possible to drive a vehicle that is not in your name. If there’s an issue and you need to claim insurance, how do you do that?” Asante Twum questioned, highlighting the necessity of proper documentation.

He revealed that the GFA Competitions Department has invited all clubs with concerns to formally present their issues for resolution. The department is currently facilitating the process of transferring ownership of the buses from the GFA to the clubs.

“As far as I know, some clubs have already responded to the Competitions Department’s call. The process of changing ownership is ongoing to ensure that the buses currently registered in the FA’s name are transferred to the clubs. I haven’t heard anything specific about the Young Apostles FC situation, but the department is actively engaging the clubs to address every concern.”

The GFA’s initiative underscores its commitment to resolving disputes and fostering transparency in its dealings with member clubs.
