The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has pronounced that the Ghana card would be the only document accepted for player registration for the 2022/23 upcoming season.
The Ghana Card, according to the GFA, will be “the only evidence of identification for registration; renewals, transfers, and new registrations.”
The GFA announced the reopening of the transfer window and stated that teams which do not comply with the new directives will be unable to sign new players.
The registration period begins on Friday, July 1, 2022 and ends on Monday, August 15, 2022 to enable Premier League, Division One League, and Women’s Premier League clubs register their players and make moves.
The GFA’s Registration and Transfer Window regulations are as follows:
- All queries for 2021/22 season on the club’s dashboard when vetted after July 1, 2022 will revert to 2021/22 season and therefore clubs will have to renew the registration of the players again for the 2022/23 season.
