Exclusive: 2013 GHALCA Top 4 tournament cancelled

The Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) at a meeting on Tuesday have decided to call off the 2013 edition of the GHALCA Top 4 tournament.
According to Footy-Ghana sources, the annual tournament has been cancelled for the second year running due to short notice to the teams and difficulties in securing sponsorships for the competition.
Originally, the tournament was scheduled to take place from September 1-22 2013, but following the insistence of the Ghana Football Association that the Premier League kicks off on September 15, the tournament had since been rescheduled for September 1-11 2013.
It will be recalled that the 2012 edition which had been named afterthe late Ghana FA vice President Jordan Anagblah was also cancelled with organizers citing unavailability of venues and closeness of the start of the past Ghana Premier League season as reasons for the decision.
This year’s GHALCA Top4 competition would have been contested by league champions Asante Kotoko, Berekum Chelsea, Medeama SC and Ebusua Dwarfs.
The Top 4 Competition is an off-season tourney that traditionally prepares clubs involved in the various African Club competitions and the League proper for the season ahead but has been unable to come on in the past two seasons.
