GFA concludes Women’s Football Strategy Workshop as stakeholders shape 2027–2031 vision

The Football Association has successfully concluded its two-day Women’s Football Strategy Workshop in Accra, bringing together key stakeholders to shape the future direction of women’s football in Ghana for the 2027–2031 period.

The workshop provided a platform for stakeholders to assess development priorities, exchange ideas and formulate practical recommendations to strengthen the women’s game, with particular emphasis on participation, talent development, professionalisation, visibility, commercial growth and long-term sustainability.

The final day featured interactive group sessions, during which participants identified key challenges, proposed strategic objectives and outlined actionable interventions to guide the implementation of the next GFA Women’s Football Strategy.

The workshop was officially closed by Head of the Technical Directorate, Professor Joseph Kwame Mintah, who commended participants for their contributions and urged continued collaboration towards building a stronger and more sustainable women's football structure.

The GFA also acknowledged FIFA Technical Experts Thubaelihle Bridgette Sibanda and Rasha Nuri Meloudo for their expertise, guidance and facilitation throughout the engagements, while expressing appreciation to all stakeholders for their active participation.

The workshop represents an important milestone in the development of the GFA Women’s Football Strategy 2027–2031, with the recommendations gathered expected to inform a forward-looking framework that builds on the achievements of the 2023–2026 strategy.

Through this initiative, the GFA seeks to accelerate the growth, visibility, professionalisation and commercial sustainability of women’s football while creating stronger foundations for its long-term development in Ghana.
