The GFA seeks to extend the presidential term limit to three
The Accra High Court has served an injunction notice to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) regarding the proposed change of presidential term from two to three.
Reports indicate that the move was initiated by an official from King Faisal Football Club who alleges that proper procedure was not followed in seeking to change the statutes.
The individual noted that he ordered a copy of the amendment proposal to ascertain some facts but did not receive a response from authorities.
In light of this, the official is praying to the High Court to block the GFA from passing the proposal at Congress, scheduled for August 12, 2025, until the case is resolved.
