Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko have reached an agreement with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) towards the resumption of the Ghana Premier League.

The agreement is on the measures to improve the league standard and prioritise safety and security protocols at various stadiums before the league resumes.

This comes following a high-level meeting held on Monday, February 17, 2025.

The meeting was held at the request of the GFA in response to a joint petition submitted by the two clubs to the GFA.

Both clubs expressed strong approval for the GFA’s enhanced “Matchday Safety and Security Protocols” and lauded the robust measures, particularly the significant increase in security personnel.

“These measures demonstrate our shared commitment to fostering a safe, family-friendly environment that upholds the integrity of the league," a statement from the two clubs read.

"Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko also reaffirm their dedication to maintaining the highest operational and ethical standards within the Ghana Premier League.

"The clubs pledged full compliance with the GFA’s updated guidelines, which include rigorous referee training programs, infrastructure upgrades, and enhanced fan engagement initiatives. The meeting also marked a pivotal step forward in the long-anticipated transition to an “Autonomous Premier League."

Kotoko is expected to hold a press conference on Monday, February 24, 2025, in the press room at the Baba Yara Stadium to communicate their final decision.
