The 2022-23 Ghana Premier League will be the qualifying competition for the autonomous Ghana Premier League managed by a separate company outside the GFA, jointly owned by the clubs, with the GFA owning a special share.
The league going autonomous will mean that the GFA will only handle the registration of players and officials and Disciplinary issues as required by FIFA.
The GFA added that there will be greater involvement from the clubs in the management of the 2022/23 league season.
