“It is unfortunate that some of the clubs received buses that were not in good condition. It was never the intention of the GFA to provide buses that would cause problems for the clubs rather than help them.”

The clubs, including newly promoted Ghana Premier League sides Vision FC, Young Apostle and Basake Holy Stars, received their buses at a ceremony in Accra Sports Stadium last week.

GFA delivers bus promise

At the FA’s last regular congress, association chairman Kurt Okraku promised to provide buses to clubs.

The FA has started distributing the buses starting with the top nine clubs from last season’s Division One League.

According to Mr Okraku, clubs in the women’s divisions will also receive the buses.

“Sometime in July 2023, during our congress in Kumasi, I spoke about an identified need in the football ecosystem. One of the things I spoke about was the lack of transport for our clubs, which meant that our players could not travel in comfort, And so the FA introduced a new policy called the coach acquisition strategy. Today we are here to see the fulfillment of that unique promise by the FA’s executive council,” he said. quoted by official website by FA.
