Sports News of Tuesday, 25 August 2020Source: www.ghanaweb.comGFA President goes biblical at launch of ‘catch them young’ refereeing policyGFA President, Kurt OkrakuThe book of Proverbs chapter 6 verse 22 is the quote that inspired Ghana Football Association’s decision to formulate and implement a policy geared towards the discovery and harnessing of refereeing talent. It is the quote on which the GFA hopes to strengthen one of the most maligned arms of Ghanaian football. The association has in the past supported some potential referees to undertake courses but never has there been a grand scheme to catch referees while they are young. President of GFA Kurt Okraku is confident about this and so is Alex Kotey, the Referees Manager of the GFA who with a team of retired and active FIFA referees will be leading this programme. For Kurt Okraku, the prospect of a Ghanaian obtaining a FIFA badge by age twenty-three appeals to him and he is not going to renege until that is achieved.
