The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has successfully completed the Confederation of African Football (CAF) License C Coaching Course for a fifth batch of Coaches.
Thirty coaches completed their CAF Licence C Coaching Course at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre in Prampram, following the introduction of the new CAF Coaching Convention.
The course included two modules, each lasting 10 days, and a mandatory 30-day internship with the participants’ selected clubs, supervised by CAF Instructors, who led the entire course.
During the closing ceremony, GFA Executive Council member, Dr. Mrs. Gifty Oware Mensah emphasised the GFA’s ongoing commitment to supporting Coaches.
She highlighted the GFA’s commitment to enhancing the quality of Coaching in Ghana, making reference to the Association’s funding of international coaching attachment programmes that saw five coaches going to Holland and other two going to Germany.
This, among other interventions, reinforces the GFA’s belief in the importance of Coaching.
She assured that the President of the GFA, Kurt Edwin Simeon-Okraku has positioned this initiative to have a continuing positive effect on Coaching in Ghana.
She further emphasised the general need for Coach education and echoed the Executive Council’s promise to deliver more for especially Women Coaches.
The female representative on the GFA’s Executive Council also spoke about the Association’s resolve to deliver 900 Licence D Coaching slots for Colts clubs in the coming weeks.
Desmond Sakyi Ofei, the Director of Coach Education of the GFA, encouraged the newly certified coaches to be firm in their decision-making and implementation, expressing confidence in the future of Ghanaian football given the participants’ demonstrated dedication and determination.
The GFA will continue to invest in Coach Education in line with its stated goal of restoring Ghana Football to a place of pride in African and World Football.
Attorney General and Minister for Justice, Dr. Dominic Ayine, has announced that the government has accepted the recommendation to abolish the death penalty and replace it with life imprisonment as part of the constitutional review process.
He said the proposed amendment would affect Articles 3, 13, 19 and 72 of the 1992 Constitution, with offences that previously attracted the death penalty instead carrying life imprisonment.
Dr. Ayine made the announcement on July 30, 2026, at the Jubilee House in Accra during the Government Accountability Series while outlining the government’s position on the final recommendations of the Constitution Review Committee.
According to him, the government believes the death penalty is inconsistent with the constitutional right to life and Ghana’s international human rights obligations.
He explained that the recommendation forms part of broader proposals aimed at strengthening the protection of fundamental human rights under the Constitution.
Dr. Ayine said the government had also accepted the spirit of several recommendations to expand rights relating to women, children, persons with disabilities, older persons and the youth.
He added that a comprehensive Human Rights Act would be introduced to protect these rights and provide detailed enforcement mechanisms instead of amending the entrenched provisions of the Constitution through a national referendum.
