The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has proposed to increase the filing fee for the position of GFA president from GHC 5,000 to GHC 50,000.
The proposal for the increment was attributed to the high costs of administering the GFA elections.
The FA seeks Congress approval for an increased nomination fee, compared to the previous GHC 5000 fee in 2019 under Normalisation Committee.
The Elections Committee proposed raising the nomination fee for the Executive Council. It was previously priced at GHC 2,500 but has now been raised to GHC 15,000.
Similarly, the Regional Football Association (RFA) nomination form will now cost GHC 10,000. Other positions within the GFA structure, such as the RFA slot on the Executive Council, District Chairman, and District Executive Council, will also see adjusted fees of GHC 5,000, GHC 1,000, and GHC 5,000, respectively.
A Congress meeting has been scheduled for July 10, 2023, during which the GFA hopes to obtain the necessary approval for these proposed changes.
