On Thursday, February 6, 2025, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) held an emergency meeting at which all 18 clubs in the Ghana Premier League agreed to follow the new matchday procedures. Growing worries about matchday security and the necessity for more stringent rules to provide a secure atmosphere for players, officials, and spectators have prompted this move.
The need for stricter enforcement of club licensing laws was agreed upon by club representatives during the meeting. In order to overcome the difficulties seen in past seasons, they agreed that the current frameworks needed to be reassessed.
In order to improve the overall experience for fans and strengthen security measures during games, the clubs reaffirmed their dedication to these new procedures.
All Premier League teams have committed to putting these improved security measures into place, according to a joint statement issued by the league. This united position highlights the clubs’ obligation to their followers and the integrity of football in Ghana, demonstrating a concerted commitment to emphasize safety in the game.
The clubs think that by taking these steps, the league’s stakeholders and supporters will feel more confident.
At a future Executive Council meeting on February 7, 2025, the recently approved procedures will be the basis for discussions.
In order to make sure that every team is aware of the new rules and ready to follow them, thorough instructions will be created and released at this meeting prior to the Premier League season.
The league’s commitment to creating a safe and entertaining matchday environment is demonstrated by this proactive approach.
