The Ghanaian Parliament is set to finance the training and upgrading of 275 Physical Education (PE) teachers to become CAF-licensed coaches. This initiative aims to enhance football development across the country as part of the celebrations marking 30 years of parliamentary democracy in Ghana.

The selected PE teachers will receive training from CAF-certified instructors, with the goal of equipping them to return to their constituencies and provide grassroots players with essential technical and tactical guidance.

In conjunction with the anniversary celebrations, Parliament organized a special cup match between Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak at the Accra Sports Stadium on July 17. Asante Kotoko emerged victorious with a 2-1 win, and they are scheduled to face DC United in the United States next month as part of their prize.

Speaker of Parliament Rt. Hon. Alban S. K. Bagbin highlighted football’s crucial role in national development and its potential to promote democracy and economic growth. He emphasized the importance of leveraging football to drive the nation’s progress and foster democratic values.
