The Committee has since submitted its work to the Executive Council clearing the way for the processes leading to the implementation of their recommendations.
The Ghana Premier League is currently organized and managed by the GFA. The 18-club competition is managed by the Premier League Committee chaired by Lepowura Alhaji M.N.D Jawula with day-to-day administrative support from the Competitions Department of the Ghana Football Association.
The 2022/23 Premier League will be organized by the Ghana Premier League Limited to be owned jointly by the Premier League clubs and the Ghana Football Association in much the same way as the English Premier League.
