The Ghana Football Association has successfully completed its tour of the Central Region as part of its monthly of the regions in the country to examine the development of the game.

Kwesi Nyantakyi led a delegation of GFA executives to engage with key stakeholders in the region on Saturday while listening to their concerns.

He was joined executive committee members George Afriyie, Leanier Addy, Kweku Eyiah, Kojo Yankah and MNS Doe, who is the central region FA boss.

They joined the Fifa representative Sampong Kablan to launch the Fifa Football for Hope Academy in Oguaa before meeting supporters of various clubs including Premier League side Dwarfs.

The executives also visited the headquarters of Dwarfs to examine their facilities and interacted with the club's leadership about their challenges.

For the first time in the history of Ghana football, a GFA press conference was held in Cape Coast where journalists from the region and other parts of the country fielded questions on various issues.

The executives also visited the Robert Mensah stadium to inspect the damage done and security lapses following a recent crowd violence during the Dwarfs- Aduana game.

The stadium has been banned from hosting the GFA's organised matches until security structures improve.

The GFA ended their tour by gathering at the spot in the stadium, where famous football administrator Sly Tetteh died, and said prayers for the founder of Liberty Professionals.

The new initiative by Nyantakyi is to ensure that he keeps abreast with football development in all parts the country while engaging stakeholders in the various regions.

As part of the new initiative, the GFA boss will visit a region every month and he will address the press in that region on the burning issues affecting Ghana football.
