A group calling itself the Ghana Football Stakeholders Forum is behind the protest, with Abraham Boakye (One-man Supporter) and Charles Ntim (Mickey Charles) leading the charge.
They are demonstrating against what they term as a stagnation of Ghana football under the current leadership of the Football Association.
The protesters are set to march to the GFAâs head office in Accra before presenting a petition to the Minister of Youth and Sports.

Having gathered this morning for the demonstration, some of the protesters could be seen holding placards with different messages.
Some of the messages read: âKurt go awayâ, âFootball is not politicsâ, âFIFA and CAF must speak nowâ and âSports Minister act nowâ.
Incumbent GFA president Kurt Okraku is set to contest the upcoming GFA presidential elections unopposed following the disqualification of his rival George Afriyie.
Afriyie, a former vice president of the Ghana FA, was hoping to unseat incumbent GFA president Okraku after losing out to him four years ago.

However, earlier in September, Afriyie was disqualified after the Elections Committee said he failed to provide the required number of GFA members to endorse his candidature.
Afriyie has since filed an application for injunction seeking to halt the presidential election, while also contesting his disqualification at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
Meanwhile, Ghanaian club King Faisal, through its bankroller Alhaji Karim Grunsah has also filed a separate injunction to stop the elections.
