The new Ghana Football Association (GFA) management board headed by ex-national team coach Ben Koufie and members of other sub-committees under the GFA will be sworn into office on August 2.
Mr Koufie told the GNA in Accra on Thursday that he would after the inauguration, organise a Strategic Planning Workshop involving all stakeholders on plans of developing football at the grassroots.
He said he is putting together a paper for brainstorming, which would become a blueprint for the development of soccer in Ghana.
On the 2000 under-17 team which was discarded after their inability to qualify for the World U-17 championship to be staged in the Caribbean this year, the GFA boss said, they would be taken care of under the grassroots development programme which will be classified under u-10, u-12, u-15, u-17 and u-20.
He said the Starlets failure to qualify for the World FIFA/Coca Cola Championship is very normal adding, "you don't expect instant results when you are doing the right thing".
The Starlets could not qualify because it was the first time the nation was relying on the academicals for that championship.
"This is what is expected the world over, when you start doing the right thing, and I think we need to start from the scratch".
He said a country like France would continue to dominate the world for times to come because they started this youth development programme 30 years ago and "it's not surprising that they are reaping from a well structured mechanism".
Mr Koufie said it is unfortunate that many African countries including Ghana are not prepared to invest in the future, and this has been the bane for their poor output.
He said part of the reason for the success of the North African countries is that they attach much importance to youth policy adding that, "we need to start from somewhere".
The 69 year-old GFA chairman said he plans to start with a Junior Coaching Scheme to involve teachers and retired footballers to unearth talents who would compete at area level through to the district and to the regional levels.
