The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has appealed to President-elect John Dramani Mahama to prioritize investment in football development as part of his administration’s agenda. The appeal follows Mahama’s landslide victory in the December 7 elections, marking his return to the presidency.

In a congratulatory statement, the GFA highlighted football’s role as a unifying force in Ghana, emphasizing its potential to bring the nation together. The association expressed its readiness to collaborate with Mahama’s government to raise the standard of Ghanaian football to global heights.

The GFA identified key areas for investment, including infrastructure, grassroots development, and talent nurturing, as critical to creating a thriving football ecosystem. These efforts, the statement noted, are essential to unearthing world-class players and building teams capable of bringing glory to Ghana.

“As you are aware, football is the unifying force that binds our nation together, and the GFA is fully committed to working closely with your government to elevate Ghana football to the highest level,” the statement read.

The association expressed optimism that with Mahama’s support, Ghanaian football could achieve remarkable progress, producing talents and teams capable of competing at the global stage.
