Grassroots pathway
The 2026/27 campaign is the sixth consecutive Colts season since the system was revived and restructured in 2020. The initiative is designed to reduce clubs’ equipment difficulties and strengthen the pathway from community football into Ghana’s organised game and national teams.
The launch brought together GFA officials, regional association representatives, club owners, coaches, former players and other stakeholders. Former Black Stars striker Asamoah Gyan, who came through the Colts system, also attended. The GFA says 859 Colts clubs are currently active across Ghana.
