Kurt Okraku, President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), visited Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II to discuss the development of football in Ghana.

The visit also served to update the traditional ruler on the GFA's activities in the Brong Ahafo region, including the "Meet The Press" series and stakeholder engagements.

Okraku expressed his gratitude to Dormaahene, who owns Aduana FC, for his support of the GFA and football in general. He praised the chief for his investment in the sport and its positive impact on the community.

"I want to take this opportunity to thank our revered Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II for his personal support to me and football in general," Okraku said.

"He has done an excellent job in positioning Aduana FC as a powerhouse in Ghanaian football. We appreciate his continuous investment in the game, which has provided a livelihood for hundreds of families."

In response, Dormaahene Osagyefo Oseadeeyo Agyemang Badu II commended Okraku's leadership and the GFA's progress since 2019. He praised the association for the swift resolution of football disputes.

"I want to thank you for the visit. You have introduced many innovations to the administration of our game, and I am confident that we will see the results in due course," Dormaahene said.

"I have noticed the speed with which judicial decisions are now made. The era of delayed judgments is over, and that is very welcome."

The traditional ruler urged the GFA to maintain fairness and impartiality in its dealings and assured the association of his continued support.

Okraku was accompanied by several football officials, including Brong Ahafo Regional Football Association Chairman Dr. Charles Osei Anto and Aduana FC General Manager Takyi Arhin.
