At the 30th Ordinary Congress of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), President Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku emphasised the critical need for football clubs in the country to adhere to Club Licensing standards. Addressing the delegates on Tuesday, the GFA President stressed that meeting these standards is essential for the overall improvement and professionalism of the game in Ghana.
President Simeon-Okraku highlighted that the Club Licensing requirements are fundamental tools for ensuring that clubs operate at a level that meets international best practices. These standards cover various aspects, including infrastructure, finance, administration, legal, and sporting criteria.
“Adhering to Club Licensing standards is not just a regulatory requirement but a necessary step for the advancement of football in our country. It is crucial that all clubs make every effort to meet these standards if we want to elevate the level of our game and compete effectively on the continental and global stage,” he stated.
The GFA President’s call to action serves as a reminder to all clubs of their responsibilities towards the growth of football in Ghana. The association will continue to support clubs in their efforts to meet these standards while ensuring that non-compliance is addressed promptly.
