It concludes that: "The government of Ghana delegation will continue discussion with FIFA in Zurich, Switzerland for the purpose of finalising the interim arrangements regarding football in Ghana."

The meeting comes on the heels of the Anas expose’ which unraveled several rots in football in the country.

Government had earlier described the meeting as successful.

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.

Meanwhile government is making moves to dissolve the GFA.

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.

However, the meeting came off between government and FIFA, without GFA members.

And according to the Ministry of Youth and Sports it was a fruitful deliberation.

The meeting was attended by Godfred Yeboah Dame, Samuel Abu Jinapor, Hon Isaac Asiamah, Frank Quist and Mustapha Hamid.
