President John Dramani Mahama vows unwavering support for Ghana FA

President of Ghana, John Dramani Mahama has pledged to provide unwavering support to the domestic football governing body (GFA) in their day-to-day activities.

His comment stem from the Black Queens recent performance at the just ended 2024 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations, held in Morocco, where Nigeria emerged as the champions.

On Tuesday, a delegation led by the President of the Ghana FA, Kurt Okraku and the Black Queens called on President Mahama following the teams Bronze winning feat at the prestigious Women’s tournament. It was Ghana’s first WAFCON medal since 2016.

Addressing the delegation at Jubilee House, President Mahama vowed to provide the needed support to the FA as part of the initiatives to improve Ghana football.

“I want to pledge our support to the Ghana FA, we will do everything we can to support you in the work you are doing" he said.

"One of the last things we want to do is to get dedicated funding for sports. We will work to curb issues related to finances, per diem and team travels” he said.

The President’s remarks form part of a broader commitment to reinvest in Ghanaian football, especially women’s football, following the Black Queens’ resurgence on the continental stage.
