The launch took place at the FA’s Conference Center, where the local football governing body has commissioned a four-year development plan.







The Acting President of the GFA, George Afriyie, in a speech on behalf of the GFA President, Kwesi Nyantakyi said:


“This vision will see young referees who are almost of the same age with the players, trained to handle the matches when the championship kicks off.”


He added that young referees will also be trained to officiate during the championship adding up to the fifty coaches that have already received training by the FA to coach the various teams that will be taking part in the league.


In all, 16 teams will be taking part in the competition nationwide, on regional basis and, in two zones; that are the Northern Zone and Southern Zone.


Meanwhile, substantive GFA boss, Nyantakyi, is at FIFA’s headquarters, fighting the two Confederation of African Football (CAF) vice presidents for the two new places FIFA has reserved for Africa in its highest decision-making body.
