Mr Nkoo Joseph, an officer of the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT), has been elected as the Representative of Ghana Premier League (GPL) clubs on the Executive Committee (ExCo) of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA).
Mr Joseph, the National Coordinator of the SSNIT Footballers Registration processes, replaces Mr Edmund Ackah, the General Manager of Samartex FC, current leaders of the GPL.

Messrs Ackah and Noble Neol resigned to contest for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Committee election as Premier League and DOL representatives in 2023.
Noble Neol emerged victorious but Edmund Ackah lost.
Mr Joseph joins the GHALCA ranks with his rich experience in the game, having worked as Communication Team member of the Greater Accra Regional Circles Council (GARCC-2017), the Brong & Ahafo Regional Circles Council (BARCC-2017-2019), and currently the Accra Representative of Berekum Chelsea FC.
