Government has resolved to stop the court processes of "winding up of the Ghana Football Association (GFA)."
This resolution follows a meeting between the Government of Ghana and the top hierarchy of the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) today.
The meeting comes on the back of a warning from FIFA to suspend the country's FA if the liquidation case against the GFA is not withdrawn.
The world football governing body released a statement asking the government to withdraw their petition to liquidate the GFA by Monday, August 27 or face a ban from all football-related activities.
To resolve the impasse, both parties agreed to a meeting.
On Thursday a government delegation led by the Sports Minister, Isaac Asiamah and comprising of the Deputy Chief of Staff, Samuel A. Jinapor; Information Minister, Kojo Oppong Nkrumah; Deputy-Attorney General, Godfred Yeboah Dame and the head of the FIFA/CAF liaison team, Dr. Kofi Amoah, met with a delegation of FIFA officials led by its President, Mr Gianni Infantino.
Present at the meeting was FIFA Secretary General, Madam Fatma Samoura and other representatives of the FIFA administration.
The meeting seems to have produced positive results with the two parties resolving to collaborate to advance their respective interests.
FIFA upon consultation with government and CAF shall establish a normalization committee to replace the Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association.

i have always known this government, they act before they think. That is why all good intended policies are failing. No planning always rush to please the masses.
if you think Anas has done a good job by exposing corruption in our GFA, raise your and pls do me a favor, use that very hand to slap yourself for me. thank u.
Where is Kwesi Nyantakyi? Greediness has caused him his football career....... He should be barned from all football activities for life.
So much for your LOUDLY touted SOVEREIGNTY!! Pick it up and shove it up your ars*! Next time, think before you act!!!
total waste of public funds. what has changed? our president is a lawyer and knows very well that govt has no right to dissolve a company limited by guarantee, yet it spent our money and time trying to liquidate it. FIFA is saying lift the veil of incorporation and deal with the individuals who have been alleged to be corrupt. if u want us to supervise elections of new Exco members, we ll form normalisation committee in consultation with you, to do that....GFA members were ready for such measures long ago but govt was seriously pursuing liquidation process.
what do you want the government to do ? They are co-operating with FIFA. Government dont run football
This action of asking VC, FO and 4 others to step aside over missing files and documents is an afterthought but unfortunately it’s not well thought through. It’s clear to all well meaning people that this is an attempt to pre-judge the case at the Supreme Court. How can you accuse people who have not stepped into their office since July 14th 2017, of missing files? The VC and FO have been asked by the Winneba High Court to step aside since 14th July 2017 and they have since not come close to any University offices. No files are missing. It's ignorance of the procurement process that is worrying the Council Chairman and the Ag VC. The Public Procurement Authority (PPA) and the Central Tender Review Board (CTRB) have copies of all documents of the all procurements in question because of the methods used and the amounts involved. Did the VC, FO and the 4 others go to the offices of PPA and CTRB at "Dead Night," to steal the copies there too? If the Council Chairman knows the hour or time that the files were taken (Dead Night), it means he knows those who took them or he saw them taking the files. What did he ask those who took the files? All UEW offices especially the Administration Blocks are guarded by 24 hour Security-men and a strong control system over the movement of Office keys. The main entrance of the main administration block has CCTV system. How can these six officers take files at Dead Night without being noticed? Do we have any key movement records that show that these officers took keys at odd times? How sure are we that these six officers have not already completed the files stealing agenda and that asking them to step aside will not yield any results? Why can’t we list the so called missing files and hold the officers who are responsible for the proper custody of those files accountable? For every file in the University, there is somebody who is officially responsible for its proper custody. Why not hold those specific individuals responsible and request them to produce the so called missing files or documents? The VC and the FO keep file on Procurement? The truth is that the Council Chairman and the Ag. VC are only very shocked, surprised and confused that after all the noise they made about this issue, they are unable to find any evidence of malfeasance. Copies of all records concerning the contracts in question are with PPA or CTRB. The Council Chairman should make an official request to PPA and CTRB for copies of the entire documentations on all the Procurements in question. God is alive and He is in full control of everything!!!
