    Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has disclosed that his outfit has invested funds earned from FIFA into various developmental projects and sporting activities.

    He stated that the GFA spent $742,000 to build a football pitch in the Upper East Region for football and related activities, which also houses a GFA academy to groom talents from the jurisdiction.

    Okraku also mentioned that his office invested $262,224 in procuring eight pickup vehicles, given to regional football associations across the country to aid their operations.

    “FIFA furnished the GFA with funds for a standard pitch in the Upper East, which houses the first-ever GFA football academy. That project cost $742,000. The eight pickups we purchased cost us $262,224, also from the FIFA funds,” the GFA boss said while addressing the public during the presentation of the pickup vehicles on April 15, 2025.

    Okraku also revealed that his administration has injected $200,000 to support colts football and women’s football.

    “We’ve decided to invest $100,000 in colts football to supply footballs and provide essential support. Another $100,000 will go to the second, third, and women’s leagues,” he added.

    The GFA have faced backlash for its management of FIFA funds, but Okraku’s statement aims to provide transparency on the utilisation of these funds.
