Authorities in Ghana have backed out of their plans to dissolve the country's football association after they reached an agreement with FIFA.

The West Africa nation on Thursday struck a deal with the world football governing body to clean up its graft-ridden football administration.

Football activities have been halted in Ghana ever since an explosive revelation in June showed Ghana FA president Kwesi Nyantaki and some officials allegedly receiving bribes worth millions of dollars.

Ghana's attorney general had taken steps towards dissolving the Ghana Football Association, but FIFA warned that such move must be withdrawn or a ban will be imposed.

But now it has been reported that FIFA president Gianni Infantino met with a senior delegation from Accra yesterday, with both sides agreeing to "establish a normalization committee to replace with Executive Committee of the Ghana Football Association," a FIFA statement said.

The committee will be staffed by people with "integrity and competence", it added.

"Satisfied with the above measures, the Government of Ghana shall take steps to discontinue the process for the winding up of the Ghana Football Association," FIFA further stated.
