Congress Approves Extension of GFA President’s Tenure to Three Terms

The 31st Ordinary Congress of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has approved the proposal to extend the tenure of the Association’s president from a maximum of two terms to three.

In a decisive vote held at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence in Prampram on Tuesday, 114 delegates out of 124 endorsed the amendment, which now allows a GFA president to serve three four-year terms.

The decision marks a significant change in the Association’s statutes, paving the way for longer leadership continuity at the helm of Ghana football administration.

The amendment was part of a broader review of the GFA statutes, aimed at updating governance structures and aligning them with international best practices.

With the approval, a GFA president can now serve up to 12 years in office, compared to the previous maximum of eight.
