Chairman for the FA Cup committee, Kurt Okraku has said he is unaware of when the annual FA Cup competition will kick start.
Reports in the local media suggest that the FA Cup competition has been scheduled to start in February.
But speaking to Humul Khulsum Tahiru on A1 Radio’s Sports line show, the new chairman of the committee expressed his surprise at the report saying “it’s a surprise people are putting out dates but I am yet to meet the entire membership of the committee.”
He said the old committee of the FA cup started with the process to start the competition and that the new committee was also working fervently to get the competition rolled out.
He mentioned that all Regional Football Associations have been contacted to furnish the committee with teams that have qualified for the competition.
Kurt Okraku indicated that IT departments of the various Regional Football Associations have been given the green light to register players of the various teams that are qualified for the competition.
He was of the hope that after these processes have been elapsed, the Exco would have approved budget to get the competition underway.
He was however quite on whether the new committee was going to introduce new innovations but impressed on football lovers to troop to the various venues because the competition has over the years lived up to its billing.
