Participants in the Ghana Football Association’s free License D Coaching Course have been trained on FIFA/GFA Safeguarding principles as part of their course requirements.

This initiative is a demonstration of the GFA's commitment to ensuring that all children and young players can participate in football within a safe and abuse-free environment.

Participants in the Ashanti and Eastern Regions have already been trained on the demands of Safeguarding and the principles governing it.

Led by GFA Safeguarding Officer Obed Tuffour, the Safeguarding training has been extended to the License D Course participants in the Northern Region who are currently receiving training at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium.

The session focused on the importance of creating a safe and an enabling environment for children, young players, and other vulnerable individuals within the sport.

Participants were enlightened on the FIFA safeguarding policies and the crucial role they play in the development of young football talents.

This safeguarding training is set to continue across various venues in the country, targeting coaches from Women’s Division One League clubs and Colts clubs.

The GFA’s safeguarding initiative is part of a broader effort to foster a nurturing and protective environment within Ghanaian football, allowing young players to thrive and develop their talents free from harm.
