The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is about to launch a four-year comprehensive plan, a component of the National Football DNA, to revive men’s football in the nation.
The Black Queens qualified for the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations for the first time since 2018 thanks to the success of a similar plan that was put in place for women’s football.
Given the Black Stars’ recent history of losing the Africa Cup of Nations in their group stages, the GFA understands that a customised strategy is required to overcome the current deterioration in men’s football.
The organisation has declared a number of efforts to turn around Ghanaian football’s declining fortunes as part of its commitment to bucking this trend.
GFA President Kurt Okraku underlined the significance of adopting a comprehensive strategy to solve the issues affecting men’s football in Ghana during a news conference on Wednesday that was conducted in Kumasi.
He emphasised the necessity of having a strategic plan that prioritises coaching, player development, and infrastructure.
After the Black Stars’ underwhelming performance in the AFCON 2023 campaign, the GFA has come under fire; some have even called for a whole reorganisation of the organisation.
But according to the GFA, the secret to success is a well-thought-out plan rather than a drastic makeover.
