The Ghana Football Federation (GFA) and Confederation of African Football (CAF) are set to organise a safety and security training workshop for the country’s elite League clubs and other security stakeholders scheduled from 16th – 19th September 2025 in Accra.
The four-day workshop on the CAF Safe Stadium initiative which opens on Tuesday, will engage participants on the applicable CAF safety and security measures, which must be deployed before, during, and after football matches.
Participants include the Safety and Security Officers from the 18 Premier League clubs, members of the GFA Security Committee, and the 16 Regional Sports Police Officers.
Participants will be taken through the Safety and Security Regulations, accreditation and access control, and crowd management, amongst other topics will be highlighted.
The workshop will be instructed by Xololi Nokithula Vilakati from Eswatini and Sylvanus Obi from Nigeria and will also be attended by CAF Safety and Security Division Head Dr. Christian Emeruwa.
With the increasing popularity and huge interest in football events, the continental body is also increasing its efforts to create safe and secure events for fans, teams, and various stakeholders of the game.
