Norgbey Proposes Dissolving GFA Amid Calls For Fresh Start
Parliamentary sports committee chair hints at radical overhaul of football administration in Ghana.
Hon. Ernest Henry Norgbey, who chairs Parliament’s Select Committee on Sports, has suggested that the government might contemplate dissolving the Ghana Football Association and rebuilding it from the ground up.
His comment came during a session where he was questioned on the persistent crises that have plagued the sport for years. He expressed frustration with the current state of affairs and indicated that a clean slate could be the only way to address systemic problems.
The proposal follows repeated calls from fans, analysts and some stakeholders who have decried mismanagement and lack of transparency within the association. While no formal directive has been issued, the suggestion signals a potential shift in how authorities could approach the long‑standing governance issues.
If the government moves forward with such a step, it would mark a watershed moment for football in the country, possibly triggering reforms that could improve local leagues, youth development and international competitiveness.
No specific date or event has been announced regarding the possible dissolution of the GFA.
