The President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Simeon-Okraku, says the association's investment in grassroots football and regional leagues will soon pay off.

Okraku pointed to Colts football, the U17 league, and lower leagues as areas his outfit is heavily investing in with the provision of free bibs and footballs, among other things.

Speaking to the press at the GFA meet-the-press earlier in the week, Kurt Okraku praised the FA's work to ensure these relaxed injuries don't happen.

"Again, to ensure that our national teams continue to perform, whether from the U-15 level to the A-national team level, we need to continue our investment into grassroots football," Okraku said.

"We will continue to invest in the third, second, and women's division one leagues as we have already started. Last week, our purchase of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) worth of footballs arrived and have been distributed to all the ten regions".

"This is an investment in grassroots football, and the results of these investments will soon reflect in performances, whether at the club level or at the national level," he added.
