Kurt Kicks off Upper East tour with high-level stakeholder dialogue in Bolgatanga

President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, has begun his tour of the Upper East Region with an engaging stakeholder meeting involving club officials, match commissioners, referees, assessors and the leadership of the Upper East Regional Football Association.

The GFA President is currently in Bolgatanga with his entourage as he continues a series of strategic engagements with key football stakeholders across the three Northern Regions. On Tuesday night, he held an interactive session with football administrators and officials in the region, creating an open platform for dialogue, feedback and the exchange of ideas aimed at strengthening football development.

The engagement reflects President Simeon-Okrakus people-centered leadership approach, which emphasizes direct interaction with stakeholders at the grassroots and regional levels to better understand challenges and shape responsive, practical policies.

As part of his Upper East tour, President Simeon-Okraku is also scheduled to meet top government officials and traditional authorities on Wednesday, in a bid to deepen collaboration and reinforce partnerships that support football development, youth empowerment and community growth.

The Upper East engagement follows the successful conclusion of the Presidents tour of the Upper West Region, which included a stopover in Tumu, the municipal capital of the Sissala East Municipal Assembly.

During that visit, he met with stakeholders of the Sissala East Municipal Football Association and other key actors, advancing his broader mission to build an inclusive, sustainable football ecosystem across the Northern Regions.
