Mr Kurt Okraku, the president of the Ghana Football Association, has revealed that his outfit is broke even as he awaits an audit of the FA’s financial and physical asset.
Kurt has not been able to readily declare how much money he inherited in the GFA coffers instead, preferred to say that the early signs are not promising although there is an audit currently underway.
In an interview with Joy FM over the weekend, Mr Okraku reiterated that the FA was not ‘liquid enough’.
“We don’t have money which is why we have increased our sponsorship drive to appeal to corporate Ghana to come on board. It is also our hope that by behaving well we will have access to the FIFA Forward progamme money which we can use for developmental programmes.
“We are also hoping that by improving our national teams, we will qualify for major international games and win prize monies.”
Recently, Telecommunications Company Globacom paid an outstanding $1 million dollars owed the FA but the FA President admits that while that money came at a good time, it surely is insufficient to settle the financial obligations of the GFA.
