Central Region journalists expressed their gratitude to the Ghana Football Association following the federation's first media conference in the region.
For the first time in the history of Ghana football, journalists in the region were given the opportunity to field questions to the country's football administrators in Cape Coast.
This is part of the plan of the communications division of the GFA to open up the federation to journalists in the other parts of the country.
The media in Ghana is Accra-centred and the new approach by the GFA is meant at giving the chance to journalists in the other regions to seek answers to burning issues.
The heavily-attended event was carried live on several radio stations in the region while journalists from closer regions - Western and Greater Accra - also attended the event.
GFA president Kwesi Nyantakyi and his other executives George Afriyie, Kweku Ayiah, Yankah and John Doe as well as technical director Francis Oti Akenteng addressed the press conference.
The journalists fielded questions on various issues including the Black Stars, ex-coach Goran Stevanovic's compensation package, the Black Satellites, juvenile football, women's football and hooliganism and Dwarfs.
Speaking on behalf of the journalists in the region, Asante Fokuo said they are happy with the decision to take the GFA's conferences to other parts of the country.
"We want to thank the GFA for the decision to take the media conferences to the other parts of the country as it has given us the opportunity to ask questions at first hand," he said.
"We relied on other sources to get information for our work but now we have had the chance to interact directly with the leaders of the GFA which we are grateful for.
"We want them to continue on this path of taking the GFA media conferences to the other regions so that it can clear the air for many people who are not in Accra."
The new initiative by Nyantakyi is to ensure that he keeps abreast with football development in all parts the country while engaging stakeholders in the various regions.
As part of the new initiative, the GFA boss will visit a region every month and he will address the press in that region on the burning issues affecting Ghana football.
