The Ghana Football Association Normalization Committee has announced that local club competitions will resume in January 2019.
According to the NC, the ‘special competition’ will start on January 26, 2019, and it will involve all 16 Premier league clubs as well as the 48 clubs in the second-tier.
Active football in Ghana came to abrupt halt after the public premiering of the famous Number 12 documentary by Africa’s most wanted investigative journalist – Anas Aremeyaw Anas and the Tiger Eye PI in June, 2018.
Below is the statement in full:
The GFA Normalization Committee is pleased to announce that it has outlined the way forward for the resumption of official domestic football activities in the country.
The new competition, which will keep all the clubs active during the GFA normalization process, as well as produce Ghana’s representatives for the next CAF Champions League and Confederations Cup respectively, is scheduled to start on January 26, 2019 and end on April 21, 2019
The Normalization Committee appreciates the quest of our members and football-loving Ghanaians for football to return, hence the extra effort we put in place to find the needed resources for this special competition.
The competition will soon be launched and the full details of the format will be announced.
In a related development, the Normalization Committee is also finalizing arrangements for the resumption of the women’s and regional competitions.
We look forward to an exciting return of domestic football in the country with the support of all our stakeholders. We urge all football fans to embrace the fresh opportunity and patronize the upcoming matches at the various venues
Thank you.
