President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku has informed clubs that their finances will be a key in fulfilling the Club Licensing requirement before the start of the 2024/25 football season.
Speaking at the CAF Club Licensing Online Platform (CLOP) workshop, the Ghana FA boss said although the finances of clubs had not been critical in fulfilling the Club Licensing requirement in the past, it will be different next season.
“Since 2019, we have pursued the journey of continuously improving systems, processes and the general health and management of our football. I am happy to say that, over time, the licensing board has worked very well with all of you. We know what standards to expect going into the new season.
“In times past, we had not placed premium on the financial documents you always submit in fulfillment of the licensing demands. We shall place a lot of premium on this next season. So, for those of you who have, rather unfortunately, not been entirely up to speed with this requirement, you would need to up your game! I am just saying this to sound a note of caution,” Kurt Okraku advised the clubs.
According to the calendar of the GFA, the 2024/2025 Premier League season will start on September 6.
