The transfer window for Ghanaian football for the upcoming season will start on July 1, 2021, according to the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The GFA announced that the window would shut at midnight on Monday, August 15, 2022 in a statement issued on Tuesday, June 21, 2022.
The statement claims that there won’t be an extension, so teams must finish player registration and transfers within the allotted 46 days.
The FA stated that in order to register or renew Ghanaian players, a Ghana Card will be necessary.
In addition, after reaching an agreement for a player, teams should counter-instruct their moves using the Domestic Transfer Matching System (DTMS).
The start date for the 2022–2023 Ghana Premier League (GPL) season has not yet been announced by the GFA.

As the 2022/2023 registration opens on July 1, 2022, the following Directives are to be observed strictly:
- All queries for 2021/2022 season on club’s dashboard when vetted after July 1, 2022, will revert to 2021/2022 season and therefore clubs will have to renew the registration of the players again for the 2022/2023 season.
- Payment of registration licenses must be made before applications are submitted for vetting otherwise such applications shall not be vetted and shall be rejected in the system.
- Wrong, fake, unreadable documents in their application, SHALL be rejected in the system.
- The GHANA CARD shall be the only proof of identity for registration both renewals, transfers and new registration.
- All transfers both domestic and international must be done in the TMS before registration can be completed in the registration system.
- Clubs are to ensure that they check the player’s name in the system, before registering a player as a new player and taking full responsibility and consequences for the new registration.
- Club that refuses to release an amateur player to the new club, the GFA shall release the amateur player to the new club to ensure smooth registration of such a player.
- Club that refuses to counter instruct a transfer request in the DTMS when there is a transfer agreement, the player involved will be declared free and all the benefits in the transfer agreement will be nullified.
Once again, the Association wishes to remind all clubs to be mindful of the import of deadlines and the strict compliance regime and the consequences thereof, following the failure to adhere to them.
