The leadership of the Ghana Football Awards Board, on Friday, June 16, 2023, called on the Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif to officially invite him to this year’s gala night.
The meeting which was held at the Sports Ministry was attended by the Board Chairman of the Awards scheme, Karl Tufuoh who was in the company of some of the board members such as Nutifafa Attah, Nathan Quao, Felix Romark and Daniel Oduro.
The Board of the Ghana Football Awards decided to pay a courtesy call to the sector minister as a sign of respect and to formally inform him about preparations for Sunday's event.
The Minister who was at the 2021 edition of the awards was excited about the visit and promised that he and his ministry will ensure the success of the awards scheme.
“For us, this is very important. We need to always find a way to celebrate our athletes. We are very critical of them at times and so when they excel it is also good that we appreciate and recognise it. You (the awards board) have our blessings and do not hesitate to let us know who we can be of help to the scheme.”
Meanwhile, Black Stars trio Mohammed Kudus, Joseph Paintsil and Abdul Samed Salis will vie for the ultimate prize at this year’s Ghana Football Awards.
This was revealed during the nominees’ announcement of the various categories earlier on Wednesday, June 7, 2023, on Joy Prime.
The Ghana Football Awards will also be live on Joy Prime with the event scheduled to start at 19:00 GMT.
