The GFA Football School, in partnership with the Ashanti Regional Football Association, has completed another successful Licence D Coaching Course in Kumasi.

At the closing ceremony, the Ashanti RFA Chairman, Osei Tutu Agyemang, tasked participants to be good ambassadors for the coaching profession.
