2013/14 Premier League start to be moved to October?

The start of the 2013/14 Ghana Premier League faces delay as a result of the Ghana League Clubs Association’s decision to have this year’s annual GHALCA Top4 tournament in September instead of the initially planned August date.

Leviticus sports can reveal that the Executive Committee of the Ghana FA had fixed the start of the new league season for September 15 (subject to approval by Congress this month) considering the fact that the GHALCA Top4 tournament would have been played from August 18 to September 8 as originally stated in the already planned GFA calendar.

However, after a recent meeting with the four participating teams, GHALCA rearranged the tournament for September 1-22 which would infer that should the date for the start of the league remain unchanged, the 2013/14 League would start while the Top4 is on course. This, according to our sources close to organizers of the league, would defeat the purpose of the Top4 tournament which is purposely meant for pre-season.

Leviticus sports understands the new development will be a very key topic at this year’s GFA Congress which is set to take place on August 28 and 29 at the Ghanaman Centre of Excellence in Prampram. According to our sources, the new campaign is likely to be moved from the second week of September start to October since the GHALCA Top4 has been rescheduled to end on September 22.
