Protecting the Integrity of Volta Football and safeguarding the hard-won gains of Ghana football
1. With the greatest respect, I write to draw your urgent attention to worrying developments emerging from the Volta Regional Football Association, particularly in relation to the ongoing Volta Middle League.
2. Your leadership has worked hard to restore confidence, competitiveness, investment, and institutional credibility to Ghana football. It would therefore be deeply unfortunate for this hard work to be reduced to nothing by conduct at the regional level that appears inconsistent with the values of fairness, transparency, and sporting integrity.
3. There is a growing perception among clubs and stakeholders that the VRFA is gradually becoming a transaction center, where qualification, protest processes, disciplinary outcomes, and administrative decisions are perceived to be influenced by money, privileged access, and external pressure rather than by the rules of the game. This perception alone is dangerous enough; if allowed to deepen, it will destroy confidence in Volta football.
4. Even more disturbing are concerns that some officials may be trading privileged information to competing clubs for financial benefit, thereby compromising fairness and undermining the confidence of clubs that have invested their time, resources, players, and credibility into the competition. Such a backward development must not be allowed to define the future of football in the Region.
5. Volta football has come far. Clubs are investing, young talent is emerging, communities are mobilizing, and football is becoming a serious platform for youth development, local pride, and economic opportunity. We cannot allow these gains to be undermined by alleged administrative manipulation, selective justice, or the marketing of qualifications to the highest bidder.
6. Mr. President, this is a respectful but urgent appeal for your intervention. The GFA must ensure that the VRFA applies the rules fairly, protects the integrity of competitions, safeguards clubs from administrative abuse, and prevents any official from using privileged office for private gain or competitive interference.
7. We respectfully call for closer oversight of the Volta Middle League process, a review of the handling of protests and disciplinary matters, and a clear institutional warning that no club’s hard-won result should be stolen through collusion, conspiracy, financial influence, or procedural manipulation.
8. This is not merely about one club. It is about the soul of Volta football and the credibility of Ghana football. If clubs begin to believe that results can be overturned outside the pitch, then the incentive to invest, compete, and develop talent will be gravely damaged.
9. We remain committed to the development of football, respect for football institutions, and the progress of the game in Ghana. However, silence in the face of these developments would amount to complicity.
10. We trust your leadership to act decisively, fairly, and in the supreme interest of football.
Respectfully,
Mrs. Enyonam Apetorgbor
Founder & CEO, KetaFC
