GFA publishes status of submitted GPL venues ahead of inspection
The Club Licensing Department, in consultation with partner departments, have communicated the current status of their submitted match venues to all Ghana Premier League clubs.
A practice that commenced last season is to ensure that clubs are guided on the relevant defects at their match venues ahead of the main inspection.
The venues have been placed in three groups.
The inspection shall be conducted by the Licensing Manager Mr. Esme mends and a team of GFA trained inspectors led by the Director of Competitions Julius Ben Emunah from August 8 – 21, 2024.
The detailed pre-inspection report and the scheduled time for inspection have already been communicated to all clubs.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and all the clubs participating in this weekend’s competitions will pay special tribute in honour of the memory of the late Dominic Frimpong of Berekum Chelsea FC (on loan from Aduana FC).
The GFA has in a statement announced that all the players and team officials of the 6 clubs playing this weekend competitions will wear black armbands on their jerseys as a mark of respect during their respective matches.
In addition, a minute of silence will be observed before the commencement of each game in his honour. This tribute will take place during the MTN FA Cup semi-final matches as well as the Women’s Premier League final scheduled for this weekend.
“The GFA counts on the full cooperation of all clubs and the fans in respectfully observing these arrangements as we collectively pay tribute to Dominic Frimpong,” the statement added.
The FA expressed appreciation to all stakeholders for their understanding and support in these times.
