The implementation of the autonomous league proposal which commences with the Premier League has been accepted by the Executive Committee of the Association and will take off in the 2022/23 season, with the National Division One League being implemented a year later.
The Division 1 League currently consists of 48 clubs that compete across three zones and the winners of each zone qualifying to the Ghana Premier League.
The restructuring of the Division 1 League will see the formation of an 18-team National Division 1 League and GFA President Kurt Okraku believes the new structures will add value and increase competition in the second-tier of Ghana Football.
“The next two (2) years will be challenging because the competition will be much higher than we had last year” – Kurt stated.
“Next year especially will see us moving into a Premier League that will be autonomously managed, the two (2) years ahead of us will see an introduction of an eighteen (18) team National Division One League” – he added.
“The whole idea is to add value to our football clubs and make football more enjoyable to the millions who enjoy the sport” – Kurt concluded.
