The Ghana Football Association (GFA) wants to increase the application cost from GHC 5,000 to GHC 50,000 for the job of GFA president.
The decision, which was announced to the membership on June 24, 2023, was justified by the exorbitant costs of election administration.
The increased nomination price, which marks a major increase above the GHC 5,000 fee levied by the previous government in 2019 under the Normalisation Committee, would be put into effect when the GFA receives clearance from Congress.
The Elections Committee suggested increasing the Executive Council nomination fee. It was originally GHC 2,500, but now it’s GHC 15,000 instead.
Similar to that, the nomination form for the Regional Football Association (RFA) now costs GHC 10,000. Additional GFA posts with modified fees of GHC 5,000, GHC 1,000, and GHC 5,000 will include the RFA seat on the Executive Council, District Chairman, and District Executive Council.
A Congress meeting has been scheduled for July 10, 2023, during which the GFA hope to obtain the necessary approval for these proposed changes.
