The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has approved the name change of Liberty Professionals Football Club to Hohoe United Football Club.
"We acknowledge receipt of a letter from Liberty Professionals Football Club dated June 19, 2023 requesting for approval for a change of your club's name from Liberty Professional Football Club to Hohoe United Football Club," the GFA said in a letter addressed to the renamed club.
"The Ghana Football Association(GFA) also acknowledges receipt of the documents on the change of name to Hohoe United Football Club Limited from the Registrar General's Department attached with registration Number CS14872021 and TIN, C0061048259 submitted to the GFA.
"Consequently, the GFA hereby approves the change of name from Liberty Professionals Football Club to Hohoe United Football Club".
Hohoe United Football Club will now replace Liberty Professionals in Ghana’s Division One League after they successfully acquired Liberty’s slot in the competition.
On Tuesday, Liberty Professionals confirmed the club’s change of business operation, withdrawing from competing at the top level of Ghana’s football and to now focus on being some sort of an “academy”, developing players from grassroots with no focus on qualifying to the top divisions.
The club will compete in Zone 3 of the Division One League, playing their games at the newly constructed 7000-seater Hohoe Stadium.
Spearheaded by the Member of Parliament for the area, the development marks the restoration of one of Hohoe’s traditional clubs, which will now be aiming to secure Premier League qualification.
