On Monday, Premier League match officials commenced a rigorous four-day training program in Prampram at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence. This training is set to conclude today, following the inaugural round of the Ghana Premier League that began last weekend across various venues.

The primary objective of this initiative is to bolster the technical proficiency, decision-making capabilities, and overall performance of these officials as they gear up for the new football season. Throughout the program, participants will engage in both theoretical and practical sessions focusing on crucial aspects of contemporary football officiating.
Key subjects encompass recent modifications to the Laws of the Game, offside interpretations, handball decisions, and the management of tactical fouls. By completing this intensive course, officials are expected to acquire the latest knowledge and practical tools necessary to officiate matches with effectiveness, consistency, and confidence, thereby ensuring the smooth operation of Ghana’s domestic football season.
