On Sunday, June 25, 2023, the Grand Arena of the Accra International Conference Center (AICC) hosted the fifth edition of the Ghana Football Awards.
The Ghana Football Awards program, which has grown to be one of the most sought after programs in the football world, honors footballers, coaches, clubs, and administrators who have performed outstanding feats during the reviewed year.
The Ghana Football Awards was established in 2018 to promote Ghanaian football excellence and honor Ghanaian players and other stakeholders for their accomplishments at home and abroad. Since then, they have grown to become the most eagerly awaited football-related event.
