Speaking at the unveiling ceremony of the GFA Foundation on Tuesday, April 18, 2023, President Simeon-Okraku asserted that the GFA Foundation will serve as a vehicle to drive all GFA related corporate social responsibilities including the welfare of industry players and attend to the needy in society.
‘’At the GFA, we believe that football should be used as a powerful tool for development. The Ghana Football Association now maintains that for the ultimate goal of football for development to be achieved, there should be deliberate, concerted and coordinated efforts in this regard’’ he said.
‘’It is against this background that the Football Association is today establishing the GFA Foundation. We are doing this as a single purpose vehicle to drive all GFA related Corporate Social Responsibilities (CSR) initiatives in the country and beyond’’.
