Ghana’s Sports Ministry said it
has invited 60 eminent football administrators for a retreat to review
the country’s football administration.
The Minister of Youth and Sports, Mahama Ayariga, said in a statement on Friday in Accra.
“The two-day retreat, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, is expected
to carve out a new national football strategy for the country,” Ayariga
said.
He said it was being held by the Ministry of Youth and Sports in collaboration with the Ghana Football Association.
He said, ‘The group is made up of personalities with vast experiences
in both the field of play and football management and administration in
Ghana and abroad.
“The eminent personalities will generally reflect on developments in
the performance of the country in competitive football and offer advice
in fashioning out a national response strategy.
“This is the first of a series of meetings of eminent persons in the
various disciplines of sports and personalities involved in youth
development programs to help drive the sector.”
According to the statement, the retreat comes a few days after
Ghana’s disappointing first round exit from the ongoing 2014 FIFA World
Cup in Brazil.
The Black Stars failed to make it past the first round after they
picked up a point from their three group games played against the US,
Germany and Portugal.
