Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku, who leads both the Ghana Football Association and the West African Football Union Zone B, paid a special one-day visit to Lomé, Togo, for the launch of a new National Technical Football Centre.

He was invited by the President of the Togolese Football Federation, Guy Kossi Akpovy.

The event marked the start of construction on a modern football facility that will focus on developing young players and improving coaching and training in Togo and the wider West African region.

Once completed, the centre is expected to help raise football standards and strengthen the region’s presence on the global stage.

At the event, Mr. Okraku gave a speech where he applauded the Togolese Football Federation for its forward-thinking approach and strong efforts to grow football at both the grassroots and professional levels.

He described the new project as “a significant and positive advancement” for the future of the sport in West Africa.

As head of WAFU Zone B, Mr. Okraku also promised to keep supporting programs that focus on youth development, better facilities, and long-term progress.

He stated, “I am fully dedicated to providing guidance and backing for projects that strengthen West African football.”

The launch of the National Technical Centre marks an important step in Togo’s journey to build a strong football foundation, with expected benefits reaching far beyond its borders.
