The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has advanced its Women’s Football Strategy with the implementation of the Football for Girls and Education pillars at the Parent Teacher Association (PTA) meeting of Kokomlemle Basic 2 School in Accra. Leading the initiative, Jennifer Amankwaa Sarpong, the GFA’s Women’s Football Development Manager, presented a strategic overview and outlined development pathways designed to boost female participation in football at every level. She emphasized the Football Association’s commitment to expanding opportunities for girls and women across the game. “Our vision is to establish the national teams as a dominant force on a global scale and consistently maintain a top-three position among African women’s football nations,” Sarpong said. “Our main objectives include grassroots development, talent identification, league growth, education, marketing and strengthening the national teams.” A key highlight of her presentation was the announcement of a new Girls’ Colts League, aimed at creating a structured pathway for young female players. The broader campaign seeks to engage, inspire and empower girls to play football, train more female coaches and referees, dispel misconceptions about women in football and provide mentorship and educational support through ambassadors and coaches. Following the presentation, the school’s girls took to the field for a friendly match, while the GFA distributed footballs to the school and T-shirts to parents and teachers to promote awareness of the programme. Notable attendees included Headmaster Francis Ransford Essilfie, PTA Chairman Francis Bosu, Vice-Chairman John Amuzu, Madam Gladys Asibu, Mr. Solomon Addy and Physical Education and Sports Teacher Kabu Doku. The event underscored the GFA’s ongoing efforts to nurture the next generation of female footballers and foster a supportive environment for women’s football in Ghana.
