The GFA has agreed with the RFA’s to have a standardised division, two-league, across all the ten regional Football Association.

A letter to the RFA’s read: "That the planned number of Division Two League clubs agreed between each Regional Football Association and the Ghana Football Association for the reduction of the number of clubs in the Second Division clubs in each Regional shall be strictly adhered to."

"That there shall be admission of new clubs only in Juvenile football and Division Three leagues in the Regional Football Associations where there are spaces but subject to the approval of the Ghana Football Association.

"Applicants must apply to the District Football Association in accordance with provisions of the GFA Statutes, which will then submit it to the Regional Football Association for onward submission to the GFA," the statement concluded.
