Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak have proposed key reforms to the GFA to improve the Ghana Premier League.
The two major clubs expressed concern about the league’s situation, highlighting the necessity for immediate change, notably in security and club licensing laws.
The proposal urged the GFA to fully manage security at league venues to guarantee the safety of all involved.
They proposed fully implementing the Gbadegbe Commission report and suggested deploying at least 100 police officers for Category A and B matches.
Furthermore, they recommended deploying at least 20 military personnel to high-risk locations, drawing security staff from various areas to avoid regional bias. The clubs recommended installing security cameras at every match venue to improve safety and recategorize matches based on updated risk assessments.
Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak pressed the GFA’s Club Licensing Department to implement upgraded minimum standards for Premier League match venues.
They also urged the league to become autonomous and administered independently to increase governance and competition.
The clubs demanded transparency from the GFA regarding television rights, and they requested disclosure of the number of televised matches ahead of the season.
They contended that this would ensure a fair sponsorship and broadcasting revenue division. Furthermore, they urged the GFA to seek exemptions from VAT and other deductions on match earnings.
Concluding their recommendations, Kotoko and Hearts asserted their right to automatic Executive Committee representation within the GFA, highlighting their key roles in the sport.

The proposal comes amid growing concerns about security at league sites, particularly after the stabbing of a well-known Asante Kotoko fan, “Nana Pooley,” at Nsoatre.
