General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Prosper Harrison Addo (Esq.) is in Portugal for the phase II of the Social Inclusion Education & Training Exchange for Sports Professionals, Coaches and Volunteers (SEITE SPORTS) programme.

The seminar which is co-funded by the European Union is in partnership with the Football Associations of Ireland, Portugal and Finland.

This phase of the project, being hosted by the Portuguese Football Association, takes place from Monday, April 11 to Friday, April 15, 2021.

The project is aimed at building competencies towards inclusive football.

The Football Association of Portugal is hosting this phase of the project to share its knowledge, expertise and practical examples to the other Football Associations after taking over the mantle from previous hosts, Ireland.

The format of the program includes workshops, seminars, visits to football clubs, football programmes and training (online platform, inclusion awareness/fair play).
