GFA calls for reductions in division II teams to 48 per region

Published on: 28 August 2017

The Executive committee of the Ghana Football Association has reached a decision asking the Regianal football Association chairmen to redusce the number of division two clubs to 48 per region.

The committee asked the several regions to make sure the decision is fully implemented within the next two years.

The number of division two clubs across the country has been enormous making managing football at that level extremely difficult.

“The Executive Committee decided that regions with high numbers of second division leagues clubs must step up efforts to reduce the number of clubs to 48 within the next two years,” the Executive committee decided.

“This is to ensure that the leagues are effectively managed while injecting quality into clubs playing in the leagues. Clubs have also been asked to reduce the number of registered players to 40 per team to ensure that players are effectively coached in order to bring out the best in them.”
