FIFA president to visit Ghana to strengthen ties

Xinhua, February 27, 2017 Adjust font size:

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) on Sunday announced FIFA President Gianni Infantino will pay Ghana a one-day working visit on Monday.

The leader of world football's governing body will arrive in Accra Monday morning as he seeks to further strengthen the ties between FIFA and Ghana.

Infantino will meet Ghana President Nana Akufo-Addo at the Flagstaff House in Accra.

"This is an important milestone for football in Ghana with President Infantino coming to the country to share ideas of his vision for the game," Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantakyi told Ghanafa.org.

Nyantakyi said the FA is delighted to host the FIFA President in Ghana and it is confident the visit will further accelerate the development of the game in the country.

The Swiss national will then visit the GFA headquarters where he will meet federation officials and staff of the organisation.

Infantino will then hold a meeting with the Executive Committee of the GFA and key stakeholders of the game to brainstorm on his vision for football.

Infantino is visiting several FIFA member associations around the globe to share ideas on his new vision of developing the game across the globe. Endit
