No committee changes - FA

The Ghana Football Association spikes media reports purported to originate from the Ministry of Youth and Sports claiming that the National Teams Management Committee have been reconstituted in a bid to inject financial discipline.

Recent reports in the local media have alluded that certain persons have been named onto the various national team management boards.

But the FA today has denied reports about the reconstitution of some committees, saying "the authority to appoint, review and dissolve its committees rests exclusively" with the sport body.

PRESS STATEMENT
The attention of the Ghana Football Association has been drawn to a news item purported to originate from the Ministry of Youth and Sports claiming that the National Teams Management Committee have been reconstituted in a bid to inject financial discipline into the management of the National Team.

The Ghana Football Association wishes to inform the general public that this statement is false, misleading, malicious and a calculated attempt to smear the integrity of members of these committees.

We wish to remind the public that the power and authority to appoint, review, and dissolve its committees rests exclusively with the Ghana Football Association, and for that matter no individual, group of individuals, or institution can purport to exercise such a right.

Membership of these committees have been based solely on merit and has no bearing whatsoever on an individual's gender, creed, political affiliation, or ethnicity. As per the spirit of FIFA's Statutes and those of the GFA, footballing consideration have always guided the selection of members to offer their services as volunteers on these committees.

It is therefore erroneous for any individual or agency to purport to exercise such a right and we therefore urge the general public to disregard the news item and treat it with the contempt it deserves. For the avoidance of all doubts, the membership of the various committees are and remain as follows until otherwise reviewed by the Ghana Football Association.
