Dear Members of the Ghana Football Association,

Distinguished stakeholders,

And the Good People of Ghana,

On behalf of the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association, and on my own behalf, I extend warm Christmas greetings to all football stakeholders and the general public.

Christmas is a season that calls us to reflect on the values of love, sacrifice, unity, and hope. These values are not only central to our faith and culture, but also fundamental to the spirit of football — a game that continues to unite our nation across backgrounds, beliefs, and generations.

As we celebrate the birth of Christ, we are reminded of the importance of humility and gratitude. I wish to sincerely thank our clubs, players, coaches, referees, administrators, sponsors, media partners, supporters, and all stakeholders for your commitment, resilience, and belief in Ghana football throughout the year. Your sacrifices and passion continue to sustain and grow the game we all cherish.

The past year has presented both challenges and progress for Ghana football. Through it all, we have remained focused on strengthening our foundations, improving governance, developing our talents, and restoring confidence in our football ecosystem. As we look ahead, we do so with renewed optimism, determination, and a shared responsibility to work together for a stronger and more successful future.

I encourage all of us to use this festive season to reconnect with our families, extend kindness to one another, and renew our commitment to unity and fair play — on and off the field.

May this Christmas bring peace to our homes, joy to our hearts, and hope for a brighter year ahead.

I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

May God bless us all,

May God bless Ghana Football,

And May God bless our dear nation, Ghana.

Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku
