And also to advise,  guide and  protect all  registered football  coaches in  Ghana from  injustice  and  unfair  treatment  arising  from  their  employment  and service arising  from directly or  indirectly from the performance  of their duties as coaches  within any organized football  entity whatsoever.

The event held in the capital, sought to create a platform where local coaches share ideas and look at the longevity of the body.
