It must be a welcome news the revealed collaborative initiative by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Retired National Footballers Association of Ghana (RENFAG) to set up a pension scheme for retired national footballers.
The pension scheme, which we are told will cater for all categories of retired players of the national teams (from the youth teams through to the senior sides of both male and female), will be drawn from a Special Endowment Fund (SEF) to be set up for the purpose.
Even though the proposed scheme is yet to see the light of day (as it is scheduled to be launched next week Wednesday), we cannot stop praising both the FA and the RENFAG for the thought or dream of it.
