The Normalization Committed formed by Fifa in collaboration with the the government of Ghana as part of its massive reforms been proposed is for a total rebranding of the erstwhile Ghana football Association (GFA).

As part of the proposals sighted by Ghanaguardian.com, the NC has suggested a change of name from the current Ghana football Association to Association of Ghana Football (AGF) with a change in the current logo.

While replacing the old executive committee with a new body which will  be called Ghana Football Board which will comprise all stakeholders in Ghana football.

The FA will then be run by the General Secretary as its Chief executive while the board takes oversight responsibility.

There is also a reduction from the 123 members of congress to 94 with the breakdown of the new congress as follows.

Per the document  sighted by ghanaguardian.com, article 26 is labelled  : Congress and Votes

The Congress shall be composed of 94 delegates with the number of delegates allocated as follows:

16 Ghana Premier League Clubs will each have 2 delegates making it a total of 32 votes for the Premier league ,while the elite Women's League Clubs will have 8 delegates, 5 of which shall be women with 24 delegates from the Division One League.

The number of the Regional Football Associations have been increased to 16 by virtue of the creation of 6 new regions and they shall have 1 delegate each.

Schools and Colleges, Beach Soccer Association, Futsal Association and the Security Services have been given 1 delegate each in the decision making of the next FA head.

The Professional Footballers Association Ghana will also get 6 delegates at the congress with Coaches and referees getting two each.

Meanwhile Board of Directors and CEO's of Clubs shall take part in the Congress, but shall have no voting power.

If World governing body FIFA accepts these proposed reforms, clubs would have to vote on them at Congress to make it a working document governing the association.
