MTN GFA Awards set for October 19
The MTN Ghana Football Association (GFA) Awards 2024 is set to take place on Saturday, October 19, 2024, at the plush Dr. Kofi Ohene Konadu auditorium of the University of Professional Studies Accra.
This highly anticipated event will celebrate excellence in Ghanaian football, recognizing outstanding achievements across various categories.
A significant development for this year’s Awards is the title sponsorship of the ceremony by telecommunications giants, MTN, who are partnering the Football Association to deliver a memorable experience to Ghanaian football enthusiasts.
The Awards will honour top performers from the Ghana Premier League, Women’s Premier League, Division One League, Men and Women’s FA Cup, the regional juvenile leagues and the various divisional leagues in the regions.
In addition, honours will be presented to the best performing referees, promising young players, and other notable contributors to the sport in the 2023/24 football season.
This marks the second edition of the GFA Awards, with the inaugural ceremony also being held last year at the UPSA.
The event continues to grow in stature as it is structured to reward the hard work and dedication of those who contribute to the development and success of football in Ghana.
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.
