The Ghana Football Association has identified the need to scout schools and harness talents in the school sector.
The idea is to partner with schools in the three football zones to set up these Academies. Players in Junior High schools will be screened and placed in selected schools for this special GFA SHS Academy Project.
President Simeon-Okraku made this announcement at the 29th ordinary session formally held in the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Monday, July 10, 2023.
The concept, which is open to both boys and girls, aims to gather the most talented football talents between the ages of 15 and 16. These talents would ordinarily not be found in Ghana’s forests.
The scouting exercise will be carried out by the Regional Technical Directors of the Football Association from Saturday, July 1, to Thursday, August 31, 2023.
