FIFA holds successful meeting with government

The world football governing body had a successful meeting with the government of Ghana on Friday.

FIFA sent a three man delegation to Ghana to meet the government over row with the Ghana Football Association in its quest to bring reforms to the beautiful game.

Government of Ghana has been making attempts to dissolve the GFA after Anas expose’ unraveled several rots in football in the country.

FIFA was scheduled to meet the GFA and the Ministry of Youth and Sports, but it was reported the meeting had been postponed to a later date, because members of the GFA are currently ineligible to deal with football matters, due to an injunction on their activities.
