The Ghana Football Association has announced the introduction of an insurance programme for referees across the country.
The initiative was launched on Tuesday, November 25, 2025, at the FA’s headquarters in Accra.
The new policy covers all 280 referees working in the Premier League, Division One League and Women’s Premier League.
Benefits under the package include life insurance, critical illness cover, disability compensation, medical support and workmen’s compensation.
The programme also extends to families, offering support for spouses, children and parents, as well as funeral assistance.
“Today’s launch signals the beginning of a new era, a future where Ghanaian referees can step onto the pitch with peace of mind, knowing that their health, safety, welfare and dignity are protected,” GFA President Kurt Okraku said.
“This is not just an insurance policy; it is a social protection package. It is a statement that the GFA cares deeply about its referees, their families and their future.”
The event drew key figures including Senior Business of Enterprise Life Assurance Company, Jerry Kwame Hodasi, Chairperson of the Referees Committee, Christine Enyonam Zigah, Referees Manager, Alexander Kotey along with several male and female FIFA-accredited referees.
