The Ghana FA, in collaboration with FIFA and the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the Ministry of Youth & Sports and the Ministry of Education, have resolved to provide over 33,000 footballs to schools across Ghana.
This plan is to use football as a key for social development and also support schools to improve the lives of schoolchildren around Ghana.
This program through Football for Schools by FIFA is for schools that have qualified teachers to teach physical education and for students from age 4 to 14 years old.
The Ghana Football Association, together with the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, will begin this program in January 2023.
Schools and colleges sports remain a key member of the Ghana FA in the development of grassroots football.
The over 30,000 footballs will be provided to Ghana by FIFA, and it is expected that the Ministry of Education will facilitate the clearing of the footballs for the timely to start of the program and equitable distribution to schools in all regions and for boys and girls.
The Football for Schools program comes as an addition improvement to the Football Association’s commitment to grass-roots football. It will be recalled that the Technical Directorate early on launched the "football for girls" project in September 2022 to empower females through football.
About 3,000 schools are expected to benefit from the program.
