“The Ghana Premier League will commence on December 20 but we must brace ourselves”, Nyantakyi president of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) disclosed to Kessben TV.

This will bring to an end the boardroom tussle for points from the second tier league amidst contractual disputes with headline sponsors. The new season will see two debutants and the returning Ebususa Dwarfs in a highly competitive league on the top tier.
