Ghana Football Association makes change to Premier League start date

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has moved the start date of the 2019-20 Premier League season back by one week.

Earlier scheduled to commence on December 21, the top-flight has been rescheduled for December 27.

The new date was agreed on during a meeting between the new GFA Executive Council - led by present Kurt Okraku - and Premier League clubs on Monday.

It is the third straight postponement, the 2019-20 season start date originally set for November 3.

The league is set for a return following a one-year hiatus after a bribery and match-fixing scandal collapsed the then Kwesi Nyantakyi-led FA and truncated the 2017-18 season halfway in June last year.
