General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Isaac Addo and Protocol Officer, Mr Alex Asante will join Sports Minister Isaac Kwame Asiamah to meet FIFA to dialogue on issues with regards to Ghana football.

The 5 member committee appointed by the government last week were set to meet the world football governing body but FIFA insisted the government must include officials of the Ghana Football Association.

The government of Ghana have placed a ten-day injunction on the Ghana Football Association after the airing of the "Number 12" documentary which captured several of the country's football governing body were captured on tape accepting bribe to influence player selection.

Over 80 matches officials were also filmed taking bribe to change the outcome of the game.

Kudjoe Fianoo who is part of the five interim management committee appointed by the government has rejected his offer after the Sports Minister threw out their proposal last week in a meeting.

The officials will leave the shores of the country tomorrow to meet the officials of FIFA in Zurich.
