In a significant step toward improving financial management in African football, a FIFA delegation, led by Finance Services Manager Meryem Atouk, has arrived in Ghana for a three-day Financial Governance Workshop.

The workshop, scheduled from January 29th to 31st at the Marriott Hotel, brings together General Secretaries and Chief Finance Officers from across Africa to enhance their skills in financial management, accountability, and transparency.

Upon arrival, the delegation paid a courtesy visit to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), where General Secretary Prosper Harrison Addo extended a warm welcome. Addo lauded the initiative, emphasizing its potential to align Ghanaian football with global standards.

“This workshop is crucial for strengthening the financial foundations of football governance in Ghana and Africa as a whole,” Addo remarked.

With topics centered on transparency and accountability, the event underscores FIFA’s commitment to empowering African football organizations to adopt sustainable and robust financial practices.
