The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Football Association of Wales (FAW) have signed a strategic partnership aimed at strengthening coach development, sharing best practices, and exploring future footballing collaboration between the two nations. The partnership will provide Ghanaian coaches with access to the FAW’s renowned coach education pathway, with a selection of talented coaches set to travel to Wales in 2026 to begin their development journey.
GFA President, Kurt Okraku, expressed excitement about the partnership, stating that it marks an important step in Ghana’s journey to build a stronger, smarter, and more globally connected Ghanaian game.
