Retired footballer Joseph Tetteh-Zutah has joined the Technical Directorate as Manager of the GFA Elite football academies.
The former Medeama SC captain who previously worked as an administrator of the club comes in with loads of experience having also worked as Administrative Manager and acting Chief Executive Officer ( CEO) of the mauves and yellows and currently the Vice President of the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana (PFAG).
Tetteh-Zuta is expected to ensure the smooth running of the academies with the aim of ensuring that the best talents in the country are scouted, trained and developed.
The GFA Elite football academy project has taken off at Winkogo in the Upper East region with two others set to be commissioned in the Ashanti region and the Greater Accra region to serve the other football zones.
The concept which is open to boys and girls aims to partner with some selected Senior High Schools (SHSs) to establish academies across the country, where players scouted at the junior high school level will be screened and placed in SHSs in the three football zones.
Joseph Tetteh-Zutah, a product of the University of Cape Coast, played for Ghanaian champions Medeama SC and Young Africans of Tanzania before veering into full time football administration.
He led Medeama SC to win their first Premier League title last season. Other personal honours include the MTN FA Cup triumph in 2013/14, the Tanzania Premier League with Young Africans in 2015/16 as well as Super Cup titles with the two teams in 2015/16 and 2022/2023 respectively.

The New Patriotic Party (NPP) has directed all aspirants campaigning in the Greater Accra Region to suspend their campaign activities on August 5 and 6 and instead mobilise supporters for the party’s planned “Democracy Under Attack” demonstration.
The directive was issued by the party’s National Steering Committee in a statement signed by the NPP General Secretary, Justin Kodua Frimpong, on Tuesday.
According to the statement, the decision forms part of efforts to ensure a strong turnout for the demonstration, which is scheduled for Thursday, August 6, 2026.
The party said the protest would begin at 5:00 a.m., with participants expected to gather at the Supreme Court in Accra.
It further directed Regional, Constituency and Polling Station Executives in Greater Accra to work closely to mobilise members and supporters for the event.
“The National Steering Committee is calling on all aspirants currently campaigning across the Greater Accra Region to temporarily suspend their campaign activities on the 5th and 6th of August and join in mobilising support for the upcoming demonstration,” the statement noted.
The NPP appealed to party members and supporters to remain peaceful, disciplined and orderly throughout the protest.
The demonstration forms part of the party’s response to concerns it has raised over issues relating to Ghana’s democratic governance and the justice system.
The NPP leadership expressed confidence that party members would cooperate fully to ensure a successful and peaceful event.

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.
