ANOTHER BIT OF NONSENSE
It is not enough to quote the Company Law; you the supporters of this view must tell us who set up GFA. Is it private individuals or the govt of Ghana? Or the football clubs? 2. Who appoints GFA Directors? Govt or private

GOG TO TAKE OVER NATIONAL TEAMS.
The government of Ghana should place all the national football teams under the care of the sports authority. GFA shouldn't be financed any longer by GOG and all stadia should be rented to the teams who want to use the facilit

Re: GOG TO TAKE OVER NATIONAL TEAMS.
That means the black stars won't be able to play against any of the 211 national teams including African teams, no club championship. We must allow the GFAto reform and be credible before government support it when necessary.

GFA
To some extent I agree with Lawyer Anyenini however, GFA as a company limited by guarantee is quite different from other companies with the same legal features in that, the GFA's actions influence and affects Ghana as a whole

I think the government cannot wait for criminals to form associations and do whatever they like in the name of freedom of association the law must be looked at again. Can Ghana not exist without criminal groups

Re: Back off the GFA! It is not a government minis
And where is what you're saying written. FIFA is against interfering with GFA activities and not the prosecution of GFA members who have commuted a crime.
