GHANA
The Ghana national football team represents Ghana in international football and is controlled by the Ghana Football Association (GhanaFA), the governing body for football in Ghana.
The GhanaFA was founded in1957, became a member of FIFA in 1958, and a member of CAF in 1958. The first football club in Ghana, Cape Coast Excelsior was founded in 1903 by Mr. Briton, a Jamaican born British, who was then Head Teacher of Philip Quaque Government Boys School in Cape Coast. Although football made its debut in Ghana in 1903, and quickly became the most popular sport in the country, the GhanaFA was founded 53 years later. The Glo Premier League was formed in 1956, and is the official name of the top professional football division of Ghana. Since then, Ghana's top clubs have been Asante Kotoko with 20 championships, and Hearts of Oak with 20.
Ghana is one the most successful football teams in Africa. The Ghanaians qualified for the last two consecutive FIFA World Cups, and have won the African Cup of Nations a record 4 times.
