The policy is to also focus on improving visibility, packaging, and branding. The document, when delivered, would go a long way to change the existing narrative and mindset about women’s football in Ghana.
Mr. Kurt E.S. Okraku President of GFA, believes 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.
