Kurt Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has admitted that coaching and refereeing are Ghana football’s biggest problems.
Mr. Okraku made the remarks at the ongoing 29th GFA Ordinary Congress, which is being held at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Great Hall in Kumasi.
Despite the numerous challenges, he stated that his administration was committed to addressing them.
According to him, plans were in the works to encourage ex-players to become coaches by offering them a 50% fee waiver when enrolling in coaching courses.
“I have already said that the biggest problems facing our game are coaching and refereeing. We have big coaching problems in Ghana,” he said.
“But we are committed to fix this problem. Most importantly, we want to encourage our heroes, our ex-national team players, to be interested in coaching.
“[There] will be a 50% discount on all payments relating to the acquisition of coaching licenses by our ex-national team players.
“The solution to our football problems is not to forge documents and defame people. If you are interested in leading football, then speak football.”
