GFA engages 18 Premier League clubs ahead of season

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has held a productive engagement with all 18 Ghana Premier League clubs as preparations intensify for the 2026/27 season.

The meeting, held on Friday, was led by General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, and supported by Acting Director of Competitions, Maxwell Caesar Kemeh.

A central focus of the meeting was a comprehensive review of the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season.

Club representatives provided frank and constructive feedback on the organisation of the competition, acknowledging areas of progress while identifying opportunities for further improvement.

The clubs were also taken through the fixtures for the upcoming season, with discussions centred on ensuring adequate preparations and strengthening collaboration between the GFA and clubs to deliver a more competitive, attractive and professionally managed league.

Wide-ranging deliberations covered key operational and commercial aspects of the competition, including match scheduling, stadium availability, kick-off times, TV production and broadcasting, match day experience, ticketing, security, officiating, disciplinary matters, integrity and ethics, publicity and promotion, reporting and match observers, as well as the festive season calendar.

Particular emphasis was placed on improving fan attendance through affordable and innovative ticketing models, while balancing fixture schedules with broadcasting, security, travel and venue considerations.

The meeting also highlighted the importance of investing in colts football and youth development to create a sustainable talent pipeline for Ghana football. Clubs were further encouraged to strengthen their support for women’s football as part of the game’s broader development agenda.

The General Secretary of the FA, Prosper Harrison Addo, commended the clubs for their openness and constructive contributions, reaffirming the GFA’s commitment to continuous engagement as the new season approaches.

As part of that commitment, the Football Association will also hold a follow-up meeting with the clubs today, focusing on the registration of youth players.
