Kwame Asare Obeng, the Member of Parliament for Gomoa Central, has officially called on the Economic and Organised Crime Office (EOCO) to initiate a comprehensive investigation into the financial dealings of the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The legislator, widely known as A-Plus, raised serious concerns regarding alleged financial mismanagement and administrative misconduct within the country’s football governing body.
The call for a probe follows a public statement made by the lawmaker on October 25, 2026, in which he questioned the transparency of the GFA's operations. According to the MP, there is a glaring discrepancy between the substantial financial support the association receives and the actual output of the national teams and local football development. He pointed out that the GFA continues to benefit from significant budgetary allocations from the government of Ghana, as well as various grants and funding streams from international football organisations.
Beyond purely financial matters, the MP's demand highlights a growing frustration with the GFA’s performance. A-Plus expressed that despite the influx of resources intended to bolster the sport, the results in terms of national team achievements and general football administration have been underwhelming. By involving EOCO, the lawmaker aims to ensure that public funds and international contributions are being utilised effectively and for their intended purposes within the football sector.
This development adds to the mounting pressure on the GFA to improve its governance standards and provide greater accountability to stakeholders and the Ghanaian public. As of the time of the MP's statement, the GFA has yet to issue a formal response to the allegations of mismanagement. The outcome of any potential EOCO investigation could have far-reaching implications for the leadership and structural oversight of football in Ghana.
