Ben Koufie Defends Integrity Of Ghana Fa Technical Committee
14.11.2013 LISTEN

Ben Koufie has lashed at critics who claim he is too old to occupy a vital position at the Ghana Football Association.

The former Ghana FA boss is currently the chairman of the association's technical committee.

Koufie's committee is tasked with shaping the technical direction of Ghana football.

Many have however questioned the competence of the technical committee due to its ageing members.

Critics feel much younger coaches ought to be given the chance consistent with the modern trends in the sport.

But Koufie reckons the worth of experience he and his other members possess remain key to the development of football in Ghana.

“It is true I am old but I am able to walk, work, speak and more importantly think,” he told Metro FM.

”I have the experience and that is what is needed in football.

”I will be off to South Africa soon to do a course with top coaches.

”So anyone who argues that we are old and should be phased out doesn't know what he is talking about.”
