The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has expressed its eagerness for top-flight clubs to advance the implementation of the proposed Autonomous Premier League.
In a statement on Saturday, the FA revealed that the league has already been registered as a company with the Registrar of Companies under Ghanaian law. Additionally, the Implementation Committee, chaired by His Majesty Togbe Afede XIV, has opened bank accounts for the company.
The GFA further stated that it has officially handed over the Autonomous Premier League company to the Premier League clubs. The committee members will be replaced on the board by directors from the 18 clubs.
“The process reached a stage where each Premier League club was to submit its rightful board representative (Director) to serve on the Board of the Autonomous Premier League Limited. The Football Association, being a promoter of the Autonomous Premier League, is very eager for the clubs to move the implementation forward,” the statement read.
The Autonomous Premier League, an initiative of GFA President Kurt Okraku and backed by the Executive Council, is expected to transform Ghana’s top-flight league once fully implemented.
Meanwhile, the GFA has announced a meeting with Accra Hearts of Oak SC and Asante Kotoko SC on Monday, February 17, to discuss outstanding proposals from both clubs regarding security measures in the Ghana Premier League.
