GFA Statutes Review Committee proposes 3 terms for president with 2 vice presidents

Ghana Football Association (GFA) has reportedly proposed a review of its statutes, seeking to extend the presidential term limit to three terms and introduce two vice presidents.

The GFA’s Statutes Review Committee has presented these proposals to the Executive Council (ExCo) for consideration, per a Joy Sports Report.

As at now, the GFA presidency is limited to 2 terms of 4 years each, as established by the statutes introduced by the Normalisation Committee in 2019. The vice president’s tenure is limited to three terms, while the members of the Executive Council also have a three-term limit.

Additionally, the committee is proposing the inclusion of two vice presidents, with one specifically designated to chair the women’s football desk.

Furthermore, the committee is recommending an expansion of the Executive Council’s composition from 12 to 23 members, including representatives from the Regional Football Associations.

The proposals put forward by the Statutes Review Committee were submitted to the Executive Council by a committee comprising ExCo Members Randy Abbey and Frederick Acheampong, the GFA’s lawyer Naa Odofoley Nortey, CEO of Great Olympics Oluboi Commodore, and Eric Oppong Yeboah from Pacific Heroes.
