Julius Debrah is Ghana’s Chief of Staff
Ghana’s Chief of Staff, Julius Debrah, has charged GFA President Kurt Okraku with establishing a Ghana Football Museum.
Debrah said this at the partnership launch between the Ghana Football Association and their new partners for the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season on July 31, 2025.
Julius Debrah suggested showcasing Ghana’s football history, including legendary stories like that of Mfum, a player known for his powerful shots that could tear nets.
Debrah even proposed displaying remnants of the torn net as a potential exhibit, inviting people to visit the museum to see it.
“Kurt, I throw this challenge to you. We will definitely support you, so take it up about we having what we probably would call the Ghana Football Hall of Fame or Ghana Football Museum. Because we have mysterious stories like there was a gentleman known as Mfum who could kick a shot to tear nets. What if you go look for the remnants of the torn net to be displayed and say go to the Ghana Football Museum and see the net?” Debrah said at the launch.
He further said; “We’ve also heard stories about a goalkeeper known as Robert Mensah and he had been described as being so skillful like a cat. And amazingly, he used to have a cap that throughout 90 minutes, he would still have the cap on, and the cap would not fall. I’m sure we can get many corporate organisations to come and support. We can do the same for Tornado, can do the same for Abedi, and it will be beautiful as a sports nation to have this.”
The GFA’s partnerships with other companies highlight its commitment to boosting Ghanaian football.
The 2025/26 season is expected to start in mid-September and on May 23 and 24 in 2026, ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
