The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is the governing body of association football in Ghana, based in the capital city, Accra.[2][3] Founded in 1957[2] to replace the Gold Coast Football Association which was founded in 1920, it organizes and governs Ghana's football leagues, football cup competitions and national teams.
On 7 June 2018, the GFA was dissolved by the former Minister of Sport, Isaac Kwame Asiamah, after the discovery of corruption in the association through investigative videos which later made up Anas Aremeyaw Anas' Number 12 exposé.[4] In October 2019, Kurt Okraku, was elected as GFA's new president after reconvention upon the completion of the work of the FIFA Normalization Committee.[5] Mark Addo was later elected vice president in November 2019.[6] Kurt Okraku was re-elected for a second term as GFA President during their 2023 Elective Congress in Tamale, Ghana.[7]
