MTN GFA Awards set for October 19
The MTN Ghana Football Association (GFA) Awards 2024 is set to take place on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the plush Dr. Kofi Ohene Konadu auditorium of the University of Professional Studies Accra.
This highly anticipated event will celebrate excellence in Ghanaian football, recognizing outstanding achievements across various categories.
A significant development for this year’s Awards is the title sponsorship of the ceremony by telecommunications giants, MTN, who are partnering the Football Association to deliver a memorable experience to Ghanaian football enthusiasts.
The Awards will honour top performers from the Ghana Premier League, Women’s Premier League, Division One League, Men and Women’s FA Cup, the regional juvenile leagues and the various divisional leagues in the regions.
In addition, honours will be presented to the best performing referees, promising young players, and other notable contributors to the sport in the 2023/24 football season.
This marks the second edition of the GFA Awards, with the inaugural ceremony also being held last year at the UPSA.
The event continues to grow in stature as it is structured to reward the hard work and dedication of those who contribute to the development and success of football in Ghana.
Young Apostles defender Claude Shooting Bortey has been named NASCO player of the month for March following an outstanding run of performances.
The Young Apostles star edged out strong competition from Setsofia Aqetey of Vision FC and winger Samuel Okai of Bechem United after scoring three goals and earning one Man of the Match award during the period.
As part of his reward, Claude Bortey will receive a 43-inch NASCO Television set, courtesy of Electroland Ghana Limited, as well as a NASCO double-door bottom-freezer refrigerator.
GFA COMMUNICATIONS
Black Stars coach Carlos Queiroz will address the media at a press conference on Thursday, April 23, 2026, at the Alisa Hotel in Accra.
The event, scheduled for 1:00pm, will bring together members of the media to interact with the Portuguese trainer following his appointment as Black Stars head coach last week.
Queiroz will use the platform to share his vision for the team, outline his technical philosophy, and answer questions from the press ahead of this summer’s FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
The unveiling also provides an opportunity to formally introduce the coach to the Ghanaian public, set expectations for the World Cup campaign, and foster alignment between the technical team, the media, and supporters.
Ghana will be making a fifth appearance at the Mundial and have been drawn in Group L alongside Panama, England, and Croatia.
