Calls for accountability have intensified, with some stakeholders demanding changes in the technical team and management structures to avoid similar setbacks in the future.<\/p>\n<p>Beyond the Black Stars\u2019 performance, the ExCo will receive updates on the progress of other national teams, including the Black Queens, Black Galaxies, and various youth sides. The state of domestic competitions, including the Ghana Premier League, Malta Guinness Women\u2019s Premier League, and MTN FA Cup, will also be reviewed.<\/p>\n<p>Another major agenda item is the planned GFA Retreat, envisioned as a platform for ExCo members and stakeholders to discuss long-term strategies for football development in Ghana. Updates will also be provided on ongoing projects, such as the refurbishment of the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence at Prampram.<\/p>\n<p>The activities of the Regional Football Associations (RFAs) and their respective leagues, as well as reports on youth development programmes like the KGL U17 Colts Championship, are also expected to feature prominently.<\/p>\n<p>This meeting comes at a critical juncture for Ghana football, with key decisions likely to shape the sport\u2019s future in the country.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 -->\n\t<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kurt Okraku \u00a0 The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (ExCo) is scheduled to convene in a crucial meeting tomorrow, to address pressing issues, including the Black Stars\u2019 failure to qualify for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.
