‘’Its work in progress, we are going to have a look at it. Our policy position will be, we will comment on it, the members are here, and we will have meetings related to this particular project and come out with our own position’’.
‘’It’s a move in the right direction and we are grateful for the initiative’’ he added.
The Ghana Football DNA will be the coaching and playing philosophy of Ghana Football going forward.
The Ghana Football philosophy identifies how we play, the current trends in football, our strengths and weaknesses, and an implementation plan to get to where we want to be with our game.
