The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that pre-match and post-match press conferences will be mandatory for Premier League and other top-tier clubs in the 2024/25 football season.

President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt OKraku announced the decision during the 30th Ordinary Congress of the association.

In his address, he disclosed that pre-match and post-match press conferences will now be mandatory for all clubs participating in official competitions, especially at the upper tiers of Ghana Football.

The Ghana FA boss stressed that clubs who fail to comply with this will fail punitive penalties.

"Clubs that refuse to comply with the mandatory pre-match and post-match conference requirements will be severely punished," Kurt Okraku stated.

The decision is part of the GFA's broader efforts to improve the organization and presentation of football matches in the country, ensuring that all stakeholders, including the media, fans, and sponsors, are better informed and engaged.

The GFA is expected to monitor compliance closely and enforce penalties where necessary to ensure that the policy is effectively followed.
