GFA donated nine buses to nine Division One League clubs in 2024
Veteran football administrator, Alhaji Karim Grusah has revealed that he has petitioned FIFA over the Ghana Football Association’s acquisition of buses for Division One League clubs.
According to the owner of King Faisal FC who has been a critic of the GFA recently, he is against the approved statute change allowing a GFA president to serve three terms and he will take the fight beyond Ghana’s borders.
“Kurt went and bought old, weathered buses, and if FIFA is indeed a credible organisation, they will speak out. I have already petitioned FIFA about this, and they have acknowledged receipt,” Grusah said in an interview with Asempa FM.
In November 2024, the GFA presented buses to nine Division One League clubs, Young Apostles, Techiman Heroes, Victory Club Warriors, Basake Holy Stars, New Edubiase, Ebusua Dwarfs, Vision FC, Okwawu United, and Hohoe United, as part of a capacity-building initiative.

The move was touted as a reward for the top three teams from each zone of the previous season.
But Grusah insists the deal violates FIFA rules, describing the buses as “old and weathered” units from Korea that no honest stakeholder should have accepted.
“I filed that petition to FIFA a long time ago. I didn’t want to reveal it, but I’m saying it now. Those buses are against FIFA’s rules, and I have written to them. I am not scared of anyone,” he further stated.
