GFA Borehole Strategy - Facts

1. The GFA made a specific request to FIFA for support for playing infrastructure

2. The title of the project was the GFA Borehole Project. The intent of the project derives from this title and is unambiguous.

3. The GFA has never applied for any project from FIFA for maintenance of pitches (of national stadiums)

4. The focus of the FIFA grant was the construction of boreholes and provision of accessories, including but not limited to, water tanks to facilitate the provision of water to improve the watering of pitches for our Game Centre strategy - RFAs, DOL and GPL clubs .As captured in all reports and documentation covering the project, this FIFA Grant was primarily for the construction of Boreholes and water reservoirs for watering of pitches.

Repeat:::The project was not for the maintenance of pitches in our national stadiums.

5. Because of the number of clubs playing at the Tamale Sports Stadium at the time, a decision was taken to place one of the water tanks and borehole in that facility.

6. The GFA borehole strategy is a public strategy that was approved by the Executive Council and approved at the GFA Congress.
