Ghana football is a brand, however; there is still a lot to be done to put Ghana on the world map. A national pavilion has been secured for the Ghanaian delegates to market themselves to the international world. Ghana will take advantage of the upcoming Soccerex event in Miami to venture into the lucrative business of football.
This will be the first time in the history of Ghana where GFA will come together with others as a team to exhibit during Soccerex. This will promote Ghana on the international football business platform, as well as rekindle the team spirit in our football executives.
