Ghana Football Association President, Kurt Okraku has revealed that the federation is strongly considering the idea of holding a virtual Extraordinary Congress.
The ban imposed on social gatherings by Ghana Head of State Nana Akufo-Addo means the country’s local football governing body had to suspend all football activities including the meeting of all clubs.
With that in mind, the FA head in a letter sent to club owners and CEOs, says a virtual meeting is on the cards.
“We took a decision to organize an Extraordinary Congress to deliberate on a number of football issues, but COVID-19 happened, and public gathering was banned.
“Currently, the approved protocols allow a gathering of 100 people.
“However, the membership of the GFA Congress, the Secretariat staff, and the media who attend congress will be far beyond the limit,” President Okraku wrote.
The GFA President continued:
“As a result, we are unable to organize Congress as we are used to.
“It is, however, refreshing to note that recently, the Registrar General’s Department has indicated a possibility of holding Annual General Meetings of Companies online after meeting certain criteria and obtaining approval from the Registrar General’s Department.
“We are currently exploring the idea of holding a Congress online after receiving the necessary approval from the Registrar of companies.
“When this becomes possible, the Secretariat would communicate to all members appropriately.”
