The Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) has agreed to aid the Ghana government in its attempts to put interim measures in place to run football activities in the country following damning revelations of the Anas exposé.

A five-member committee was set-up by the government to replace the Ghana Football Association after investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas exposé caught several members of the FA allegedly collecting bribes on tape.

Government was therefore compelled to suspend all activities of the Football Association as well as barring its officials from undertaking any duty at the offices of the FA to enable further investigations into the matter.

After a meeting in Accra yesterday between FIFA delegates and government officials, the world football governing body has decided to back the Ghana government.

FIFA also gave it’s okay to government to use its national laws to fight criminal conduct and illegality in the Ghana Football Association.

Here is the full statement by government below:
