I represent La Liga Africa and we are going step by step. We cannot go to every country so we are doing everything slowly. We went to South Africa and Nigeria and definitely, we will come to Ghana. If they need our help then we will bring some people from Spain. As I said we have a winning module and we can pass it over, he said.

Ghana football is currently going through a crisis with the government suspending football activities after it emerged in the Anas expose that some officials of the Ghana Football Association use their offices for alleged corrupt and fraud practices.

The Committee which is expected to be announced by close of this week is expected to replace the dissolved Executive Committee of the GFA and come up with a roadmap for the elections of officials to administer football in the country.
