The Ghana Football Association (GFA) kicked off the 2026/27 Colts Football season at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram. The league, which has been operational for six years, boasts the KGL Foundation as its sponsor. The sponsorship extends to scholarships for academically outstanding players. Colts Football Ambassador Asamoah Gyan emphasized the competition's role as the bedrock of Ghanaian football.
Gyan expressed gratitude for President John Dramani Mahama's call to revive Colts football and vowed to collaborate with the GFA to rekindle enthusiasm. GFA President Kurt Okraku highlighted that the KGL Foundation spearheaded the league's revival in 2019. Presently, there are 859 active Colts football clubs in Ghana. Over the past three years, 600 coaches have undergone training, and the GFA introduced a structured girls' U15 Colts Football League for the first time.
In partnership with Hoshi International, the GFA secured 3,000 footballs, 15,000 jerseys, and 15,000 casual shoes to bolster Colts football development. The Colts Football programme remains a crucial platform for developing young talent and offering a route into organized football.
