September 21, 2014 has been picked by the Ghana Football
Association (GFA) as the tentative date for the start of the 2014/2015 First
Capital Plus Premier League. The GFA’s Congress which ushers the football
fraternity into the new season has also been fixed for August 28, 2014.
A circular from the GFA’s Communications desk said: “Tentatively, the GFA Congress has been scheduled for 28th August
with the start of the First Capital Plus Premier League penciled for 21st
September pending the approval of Congress”.
Clubs and football fans have been calling on the GFA to
announce the date for the start of the Premier League after Ghana’s abysmal
failure at last month FIFA World Cup in Brazil. However, the FA could not come
out with the date because games in Zone 1B of the Division One League were yet
to be cleared at that time. Secondly, the date for the start of the league
could not be announced at the time Congress had not been held.
Now with date for Congress fixed and play-off matches in
Zone 1B over with B. A. United recording two wins and a draw – therefore joining
Great Olympics and Feyernood for the 2014/2015 season, clubs can now tell when
to start and end their pre-season programme.
Local football fans can as well heave a sigh of relief
knowing that, barring any last minute change, Premier League action will return
in the third week of next month.
