Mr Fianoo, who convincingly won the GHALCA chairmanship race last month, also noted that he was focused on consulting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to bring back the season-opening gala competition.
At the swearing-in ceremony, he said: "On behalf of my new executive, I assure you that I will seek first the interest of the clubs to prevent them from struggling."
"We are also looking forward to collaborating with the GFA to develop local football in the country," he added.
A former chairman of the association, Nana Sam Brew-Battler, advised the incoming executive members to help bring GHALCA to its former status.
He also tasked them not to be selfish but rather fight for the interest of the clubs.
Nana Banyin Eyison, an Executive Committee member of the GFA, who spoke on behalf of his colleagues, said they were looking forward to fully implementing the club licensing system to help benefit the clubs.
The Minister of Youth and Sports, Nii Lantey Vanderpuye, urged the new executives to advise the Premier League clubs to nurture young talents through their academies.
Other executive members who were sworn into office by a Supreme Court Judge, Justice Ennin Yeboah, were the Vice Chairman, Alex Ackumey, John Ansah and John Ofosuhene of Premier League clubs, Ebusua Dwarfs and WAFA, Otuo Acheampong "Sometimer" from Division One, George Amoako as treasurer and Samuel Aboabire from Division Two.
