The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is set to introduce a new policy requiring all Ghana Premier League (GPL) clubs to include at least four Under-19 players in their matchday squads starting from the 2025/26 season. GFA President Kurt Okraku announced this initiative during the 30th Ordinary Congress, emphasizing its focus on youth development and offering young players opportunities to compete at the highest level of domestic football.

The policy aims to benefit both clubs and national teams by providing young talents with regular playing time, thereby aiding their development and potentially generating revenue through player sales. For the national teams, it will help build a pool of skilled young players to contribute to future successes.

This initiative marks a significant step towards the long-term sustainability of Ghanaian football, creating a vital platform for young players to showcase their abilities and potentially earn spots on national teams.
