World football governing body FIFA has given its formal approval to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to elevate the Women's Representative on the Executive Council to the role of 2nd Vice President, a landmark step aimed at strengthening leadership representation and advancing the development of women's football in Ghana.
The proposal, submitted as part of ongoing statutory reforms, seeks to place the elected female representative third in the GFA's leadership hierarchy, in alignment with FIFA's global directive that each confederation must have at least one female representative on its executive body.
The initiative is also in line with FIFA's broader mission to promote gender inclusion and provide women with meaningful decision-making roles in football governance.
However, the proposed amendment is still subject to ratification by the GFA Congress, the Association's highest decision-making body.
