The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has made an allocation of two hundred and ninety thousand dollars ($290,000) to purchase computers, scanners, printers, I.T systems and internet connectivity materials via the FIFA Forward 1.0 programme.

President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku said on Tuesday, August 25, 2020 during the launch of the Catch Them Young refereeing policy at the GFA headquarters in Accra.

As a result, the GFA will provide the 18 Premier League clubs, 48 Division One League clubs, 16 Women’s Premier league clubs, the 10 RFAs across the country and the GFA head office in Accra with state of the art I.T equipment to help members to effectively communicate among themselves and to ensure that registration of players is decentralized.
