One God Forever Ltd. Teams Up with Vice President Dr. Bawumia to Launch Ghana Retired Footballers Welfare Association
A groundbreaking initiative is set to bring hope and dignity to retired Ghanaian footballers as One God Forever Ltd. collaborates with Vice President Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia to launch the *Ghana Retired Footballers Welfare Association (GRFWA)*. This bold move is designed to address the long-neglected welfare needs of former footballers who have contributed immensely to Ghana’s sporting history.
The GRFWA, the brainchild of One God Forever Ltd. and the Office of the Vice President, will offer essential support to retired players facing financial and health challenges. With regional offices being established in all 16 regions of the country, the association aims to provide monthly stipends and critical healthcare assistance to footballers who have fallen on hard times. For many, this initiative will be a lifeline, offering much-needed relief and security.
*Mohammed Elias*, CEO of One God Forever Ltd. and a former professional footballer himself, lauded Vice President Dr. Bawumia for his unwavering commitment to the project. Elias highlighted that the Vice President’s active involvement in this initiative demonstrates a deep dedication to Ghana’s sporting fraternity and his desire to build a stronger, more inclusive society.
“This is more than just an association—it is a statement of gratitude to those who have given their all for the country, both on and off the field,” Elias remarked. “Dr. Bawumia’s passion for this project is a testament to his vision for a better Ghana, where no one is forgotten after their time in the spotlight fades.”
The association has already garnered support from several celebrated Ghanaian football icons, including *Bernard Don Bortey, Jordan Opoku, Joe Tagoe (Bobby Short), Francis Poku,* and *Eben Dida*. Their involvement underscores the importance and timeliness of this initiative, as the need for proper welfare structures in Ghana’s sports sector has long been a topic of concern.
The GRFWA will not only uplift retired footballers but also seek to redefine the future of Ghanaian sports. By acknowledging and addressing the welfare of its legends, the association aims to inspire a broader shift towards the holistic development of athletes during and after their playing careers.
*One God Forever Ltd.*, a Ghanaian-owned social enterprise, is spearheading this initiative as part of its broader mission to drive community development and empower individuals who have made significant contributions to society. With a special focus on retired athletes, the company aims to create lasting impact and support those who have served Ghana with distinction.
