for old Clubs from 400,000 cedis to 600,000 cedis while

allocated to the ERFA by the National Sports Council.
The building is to be funded by contributions from the
Second and Third divisions, women soccer and colts soccer
league clubs in the Region with additional contribution from
the Ghana Football Association.
The Chairman of the ERFA, Mr Abdul Lawal in an address said
the Regional Football Association (RFA) has decided to lay
emphasis on juvenile soccer by managing to organize all the
well managed juvenile clubs in the region, which has ensured
an increase in the number of colts clubs from 18 clubs last
year to 86 clubs this year.
Mr Lawal expressed concern about the way management of some
clubs in the region try to use the media to castigate the
RFA by calling them names but continue to enjoy the benefit
from the hard work of the executive committee of the RFA.
The Chairman expressed his appreciation to various radio
stations for their hard work and show of appreciation to the
good works of the RFA.
