With a resounding vote in favour of the change, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has extended the presidential term restriction from two to three terms and appointed women to the Executive Council.
The decision was reached at the 31st Ordinary Session of Congress, held on Tuesday, August 12, 2025, at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram.
Out of the 124 members present, an overwhelming 114 voted in favour of the change, indicating nearly universal support for the idea.
The amendment was one of two major items on the agenda, the other being the promotion of the Women's Football Representative on the GFA Executive Council to the position of Second Vice-President, a move aimed at increasing gender representation at the highest levels of football governance in the country.
The constitutional amendment will take immediate effect, meaning future GFA presidents will be eligible to serve up to three four-year terms.
Tuesday’s Congress was attended by key football stakeholders, including representatives from the Premier League, Division One League, Women’s Premier League, regional football associations, the Professional Footballers Association of Ghana and other constituent bodies.
The overwhelming approval reflects a broad consensus within the Ghanaian football fraternity for continued structural reforms aimed at securing long-term stability, inclusivity, and competitive excellence.
