In a video shared on social media, the bus was packed at a fitting shop as the mechanics operated on it to return it to a good state.
The FA has received wide backlash after photos and videos of the buses in poor shape were shared on social media.
Meanwhile, the FA donated the buses to nine clubs that did well in last season's league, and there are plans to extend it to the women's league.
The current administration believes the gesture is to help improve the logistics of teams in the lower divisions. It was part of the FA's promise at the last congress.
Ghana FA to extend donation to women's league
The Ghana FA confirmed during the buses' presentation will be extended to the women's league.
"Let me also mention that our clubs in the Women's Premier League are also part of this strategy and in the next few days, four Women Premier League clubs will also take home a bus each," said Ghana FA boss Kurt Okraku, as quoted by the official website of the FA.
"Today, it's the turn of our Division One League Clubs, tomorrow it may be the turn of our Women Premier League Clubs, subsequently, it may be the turn of Regional Football and several others benefiting from this strategy."
Buses donated to clubs faulty
Earlier, Yen.com.gh reported that the buses gifted to nine clubs by the Ghana Football Association have been found to be in a poor state.
The Ghana FA, in a short ceremony on Wednesday morning, presented nine of the best-performing clubs from last season's Division One League with new buses to facilitate their travels.
However, following the receipt of the vehicles, it was found that the interior of the buses was in a horrible state.
