The proposed amendment to extend the presidential tenure of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) from two to three terms has received resounding support, with a growing list of clubs and their officials publicly endorsing the proposal. The amendment, which will be voted on during the GFA's Ordinary Congress scheduled for August 12, 2025, at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence in Prampram, seeks to increase the maximum tenure of a sitting GFA President from two four-year terms (8 years) to three (12 years).
