The Veep further assured government&#8217;s readiness to fully support the development of the game since it is equally important due to the high interest by Ghanaians.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s passion for the game, there\u2019s interest in the game and that interest amongst our people is also translated into the interest by the government. We want to make sure soccer does well and football is governed properly and so we\u2019ll do everything in our capacity for the development of football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also stressed government has no interest in the interference of football management but tasked administrators to do more to develop the sport.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe don\u2019t really want to interfere in the management of football, but we want to provide the environment for that management to benefit the country.
