Deputy Sports Minister Perry Okudzeto has revealed that government has initiated steps to withdraw the court case against the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The Deputy Sports Minister Perry Okudzeto revealed the information after the meeting between Gog and FIFA.

The Government of Ghana was keen to dissolve the GFA following the massive corruption scandal and other illegalities that have engulfed the association.

However, Gog and FIFA after meeting agreed to establish a normalization Committee to replace the Ghana Football Executive Committee.

FIFA also said they will consult the government and CAF to appoint persons with integrity and competence to steer the affairs of Ghana football among others.

According to the newly appointed Deputy Sports Minister, Government is on course to withdraw court case against GFA.

"After our meeting with FIFA in Zurich last Thursday, the Ghanaian team arrived on Friday and steps have been taken to withdraw the case from court which in no time will come to light as well as the Normalization committee"

"We have our cards ready to go, waiting on the other stake holders to set the ball rolling, " Perry Okudzeto told Oyerepa FM.

"In a matter of time, the Sports Minister will announce those making up the Normalization committee as well as progress of this issue."

"The Government of Ghana is only concerned with bringing sanity to the game to restore back the confidence we had in our football. "

"We all saw the Anas number 12 and I believe it didn't augur well so let's support the government to restructure our game."

"Am happy there's a Kotoko vs Hearts match in honour of our former president John Agyekum Kuffour and I think it's the best way to start the reforms in our game"
