We won’t be at war with President Mahama; we need to sit up – GFA Communications Director

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has stated it does not plan to engage in conflict with President John Dramani Mahama over his recent criticism of the organization's performance. GFA Communications Director Henry Asante Twum confirmed the association found President Mahama's remarks as a timely reminder to enhance reforms already in progress, particularly regarding refereeing and combating match-fixing.

President Mahama expressed his concerns during a visit to Medeama SC, Nations FC, and Ampem Darkoa, highlighting issues such as refereeing standards, match-fixing, and the need to restore public trust and improve talent development within Ghanaian football. In response to these remarks, Twum emphasized that the GFA would not view President Mahama's criticism as a confrontation.

He noted that the President's observations were valuable and the association should strive to address the issues highlighted. The GFA remains dedicated to enhancing the refereeing system and implementing measures to boost the vibrancy of Ghanaian football.
