Speaking to the media after the ceremony, Mark Addo praised GFA President Kurt Okraku for his efforts in securing these acquisitions.
“What we have witnessed today will go a long way to support Grass-root football. It will help our regional chairmen in terms of logistics, planning and all the little works that a lot of people do not know about and I am happy that our president had the vision and the courage to fight for this. We want to thank FIFA for coming though and helping us achieve the agenda of the GFA President”he said.
The Greater Accra Regional FA and Northern Regional FA are set to receive their vehicles under a subsequent phase of the FIFA Forward program.
