The President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, today officially broke ground for the construction of a 40-bed accommodation facility at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.

The ceremony was attended by members of the Executive Council, delegates to Congress, former GFA officials including Fred Pappoe and Emmanuel Gyimah, and media representatives.

The construction, partly funded by Ghana’s 2022 World Cup allocation, is part of a broader upgrade aimed at aligning the centre with international standards.

"I am very excited to see today and celebrate the decision to construct a 40-bed accommodation facility here in Prampram. I want to use this opportunity to express my gratitude to the Executive Council and members of Congress for their support for such a major project for the forward march of our game," he said.

"I am equally grateful to the Government for showing leadership in offering financial support in ensuring the realization of this fantastic project. The project includes many basic amenities to create a professional environment that will directly serve the national teams and contribute to the growth of Ghana football.

"The effect of what I spoke about is what is manifesting and I hope that when we gather here again, we'll be happy to inspect a fully constructed 40-bed accommodation facility," he concluded.

Additional improvements include floodlights, new pitches, a gymnasium, swimming pool, and Futsal Arena.

The Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence has long been a training hub for national teams. The upcoming upgrades are expected to further elevate its role in nurturing local football talent.
