The Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG) has successfully coordinated the voting process for this year’s FIFA FIFPro World XI.
By dint of this exercise, the PFAG has once again ensured that the voices and choices of Ghanaian professional footballers were factored into the award of arguably the most lucrative recognition to be handed out to footballers, since the awards are voted for by their own colleague professionals.
The FIFA FIFPRO Men and Women’s World XI are annual awards depicting the best footballers in the world’s favourite sport over the course of the year as exclusively voted for by the players, for the players!
The results of the voting process will be announced in London tonight at “The Best FIFA Football Awards”.
In Ghana the voting process was coordinated by the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana, home to all of Ghana’s professional footballers.
In a bid to ensure that the voting process went on as efficiently as possible, executive members of the PFAG paid visits to the clubs on the domestic front to present their players with the opportunity to partake in this landmark event to elect the most deserving Goalkeeper, four Defenders, three Midfielders and three Forwards.
