Naa Odofoley, Habiba Attah tasked to draft policy on women’s football
A member of the erstwhile Normalization Committee, Naa Odofoley Nortey (Esq.) and Executive Council member Madam Habiba Attah Forson have been tasked to come up with a comprehensive policy document on women’s football.
The decision was taken on Friday during a meeting of the national teams department led by Deputy General Secretary Alex Asante, the Black Queens Management Committee and GFA President, Kurt E.S Okraku.
They have two weeks to come up with a draft that will be considered and approved by the Executive Council, a statement from the FA said.
“This is part of the GFA’s efforts to put in place a detailed plan to change the narrative on women’s football by making it attractive to the corporate world and to draw eyeballs to the brand, the statement said.
It said the policy is to also focus on improving visibility, packaging and branding, adding that the document, when delivered, will go a long way to change the existing narrative and mindset about women’s football in Ghana.
GFA President, Kurt E.S. Okraku said these vital areas need to be looked at holistically to serve as a policy guideline for women’s football when adopted. He opines its implementation must start from the grass-root level, club level and transcend to the various women national teams.

Management of Asempa FM has issued a public apology to the Minister of Youth and Sports, Mr. Kofi Adams, after wrongly quoting him in a recent publication about the selection of players for the Black Stars.
In a statement released by the station’s management, Asempa FM admitted that a quote card shared after Kofi Adams’ interview on Ultimate Sports Show on 13th October 2025 misrepresented his actual remarks.
According to the station, the error created a wrong impression that the Sports Minister was directly involved in selecting players for the national team ahead of the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
“The wording on the artwork may have created a misleading impression. For clarity, the Honorable Minister stated that the final decision on player selection rests solely with the technical team, and he emphasized the importance of transparency and merit-based selection,” the statement said.
Asempa FM expressed deep regret for the misrepresentation and apologized to Kofi Adams and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The management further assured the public that the station would take steps to ensure greater accuracy and care in its future communications.
“We hold Kofi Adams and his office in the highest regard and deeply regret any inconvenience or misunderstanding caused,” the statement concluded.

When Otto Addo took charge, Ghana sat fourth in Group I with just three points from two matches — a situation that seemed daunting for even the most optimistic fans. But what followed was one of the most remarkable turnarounds in African World Cup qualifying history.
Addo’s arrival brought renewed tactical clarity and belief. He restructured the team’s shape, redefined roles, and instilled discipline in both defense and attack. The results began to flow as Ghana went on an astonishing run of victories.
The coach’s calm leadership was crucial in restoring confidence to key players who had lost form. Veterans found new motivation, while youngsters flourished under his guidance, creating a perfect blend of maturity and energy.
Each win became a statement of intent — that Ghana was back. The team’s comeback victories over tough opponents like Mali and Central African Republic showed resilience and mental fortitude.
By the end of the campaign, the Black Stars had climbed from fourth to first, topping the group with 25 points and a +17-goal difference — a clear testament to Otto Addo’s transformational leadership.
This turnaround will go down in Ghana’s football annals as a story of hope, determination, and tactical brilliance that brought the nation back to the world stage.
