Okraku made the revelation on Monday when the association launched their ‘Ghana Football App’ in Accra.
Speaking on the relevance of the App, Okraku said, “With this app, Ghanaian football has experienced a facelift: an essential and effective resolution to global trends and culturally relevant occurrences that impact the Ghanaian football scene”.
‘’The App will be in full swing on Tuesday, December 21, 2021, when the official announcement of Ghana’s provisional squad for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations is made’’ he added.
