President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, says his office is willing to provide all the necessary support to Asamoah Gyan ahead of the commencement of the All Regional Games.
On Tuesday, the maiden edition of Games was launched at the La Palm Royal Beach Hotel ahead of its commencement in November 2024.
The much-anticipated competition will feature athletes competing in nine sports disciplines; football, athletics, volleyball, basketball, tennis, table tennis, boxing, eSports, and arm-wrestling.
Okraku graced the press launch of the event and had kind words for the initiative pledging support from the GFA.
"The idea of the All Regional Games fits into two key areas in our current football ecosystem - fixing the fundamentals and catching the talent young," said the GFA President. "In organizing these Games, Asamoah Gyan and his team are helping the country in fixing the fundamentals."
"Like I said, they are also offering the opportunity for young talents who will not normally be found from the woods of Ghana, the opportunity to be found via this platform called the All Regional Games.
"The Football Association will stand shoulder-to-shoulder with you, Asamoah Gyan. You are a proud son of our industry. We will give this product and this project all the support you undoubtedly deserve, especially with our "Catch Them Young Referees" primed to be part of this awesome initiative."
A regional tour is scheduled to begin on April 16 to raise awareness ahead of the Games.
Each region is responsible for holding trials in June to identify their top athletes.
Athletes aged 18 to 23 will compete against their peers from other regions.
