“Our executive council having realized that we have not been given the needed attention, we decided to form a five-member Committee to put a document together to tell us the contribution of football towards the national economy and this is a process we have started”.

Mr Okraku stressed that he believes football has what it takes to make Ghana a stronger brand.

“We believe that we deserve more attention, we believe that we belong to a special group that has the capacity to reposition the brand called Ghana in a much stronger way” he indicated.
