The Ghana top-flight league is
scheduled to commence next month after a meeting between executive
committee and premier league board.
Ghana Premier League new
season has finally been billed to kick start on the weekend of February
20-21 after litigations mauled the earlier proposed date.
Techiman
City were alleged by Wa African United to have indulged in bribery and
corruption en route to their qualification to the premiership while Tema
Youth FC dragged GFA to Court of Arbitration for Sports following a
ruling involving Dreams FC.
However, the premier league board
led by newly appointed chairman Ashford Tetteh Oku held a meeting with
the executive committee of the football association this week to thrash
out all the outstanding issues which have delayed the league’s
commencement.
“The start of league has been proposed by PLB to
start next month after all the litigations have been put to an end,” a
source told Goal.
“The executive committee members and the
premier board met and a decision was arrived that clubs must be given at
least three weeks to complete their preseason since some just begun
after breaking camp following the uncertainties surrounding the start of
the league.
“With all things being equal, the first week of the
league will start on Saturday February 20 and remaining matches to
continue on Sunday,” the source added.
On Wednesday, Sports
Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) issued a press release through
president Kwabena Yeboah urging the football association to settle all
disputes on time as clubs are incurring a lot of cost without games.
Goal
understands that Techiman City, Dreams FC and Ebusua Dwarfs have been
approved as the newly promoted clubs while B.A United, Heart of Lions
and Great Olympics have been demoted to the second-tier league.
