President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Kwesi Nyantakyi has revealed that the GFA has proposed to\u00a0Congress\u00a0to create an additional slot in the Executive Committee, exclusively for women.<\/p>\n
Linear Addy remains the only female member of the Executive Committee but her position is not permanent as she is only a representative of the constituent bodies of the Football Association.<\/p>\n
But Nyantakyi believes a permanent female seat on the EXCO, will help in the promotion of women\u2019s football in the country.<\/p>\n
\u201cApart from Sanford World Clinics, GFA is the sole sponsor of Women\u2019s football in Ghana. We will continue to support Women\u2019s football at an enhanced level to give more meaning and support to Women\u2019s football,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
\u201cEven though\u00a0Ms.\u00a0Linear Addy is the representative for women on the executive committee, she is there as a representative of the constituent body, so if the coaches or referees think that she is had enough of her tenure, they can ask her to step aside.<\/p>\n
This is an era that we have to encourage more women,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
