The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Congress have okayed the election nomination fees.

The decision was taken at the 29th ordinary session of Congress at the Great Hall of the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) on Monday, July 10, 2023.

This means the filing fee for the president of the football governing body has been increased from GHȼ5,000 to GHȼ50,000.

The Executive Council nomination form which was GHȼ2,500 has been increased to GHȼ15,000 while Regional Football Association (RFAs) nomination form will be for GHȼ10,000.

Other positions such as the RFA slot on the Executive Council will be sold for GHȼ5,000, District Chairman is GHȼ1000, and District Executive Council forms will be sold for GHȼ5000.

The increment was attributed to the high costs of administering the GFA elections.

The GFA election is expected to be held later this year.
