The club's board is advised by GFA Executive Committee member Mr. Fred Crentsil, with the following occupying the respective roles: Oloboi Commodre as Director of Operations, Fadi Omari as head coach with Jimmy Kobla and Laryea Korley as assistant coaches.

Commercial strategy 
The Global Village Group acquired newly promoted St. Mirren FC who qualified on top of Zone III in the middle league, beating Royal Knights F.C., Fairpoint F.C., and drawing with Power FC. The club's name was thus changed to Sporting Mirren FC, SP Mirren for short. As part of the marketing strategy of the club, Global Village secured a sponsorship deal with Metro TV for their inaugural season to the tune of GH¢140,000.00 made up of GH¢70,000.00 cash and GH¢70,000.00 in the form of airtime to promote and market the matches and activities of SP Mirren.

Stadium 
Sporting Mirren FC played its midweek and weekend matches on Thursday and Saturday respectively at Ohene Djan Stadium. The club used the Ajax Park as its training grounds, which is within the same neighbourhood as its clubhouse located near IPS Legon.

St Mirren FC 
The Ghanaian side shares its name with Saint Mirren Football Club, a Scottish professional football club based in Paisley, Scotland. The Scottish St Mirren FC were alerted to the existence of a "Ghana St. Mirren" a few years ago and were delighted to welcome the then chairman, and a selection of the latter's first team, to Scotland for a visit. A link between the two was soon established and Ghana St Mirren received brand new black and white St Mirren FC kits after their Chairman met a supporter, Stuart McIntosh, at the Normandy Hotel near Paisley with the result that McIntosh sent the club the kits. Nevertheless, SP Mirren, as they are now known, have reverted to their original green and yellow shirts.

They were relegated at the end of the season.
