Mr Y. A. Ibrahim, Chairman of the Executive Council of the Ghana football Association (GFA) has stated that the council would not hesitate to alter the rules of the League if it becomes apparent that a winner could not be declared by December this year, for onward submission to CAF.

He told the GNA Sports in an interview that at the moment, the league schedules are very tight and said the situation is even worse because the F.A Cup has not started.

"Looking at the way things are now, I doubt whether we can meet the deadline set by CAF especially after the league went on a month's break following the Accra Sport Stadium May 9 disaster", he said.

"At the moment we have five-and-half months to come out with winners in both the F. A. Cup and the league and taking into consideration, a possible three more breaks to enable the Black Stars prepare for the World Cup qualifiers against Liberia, Sudan and Nigeria, it will be extremely difficult to meet the dead line", he added.

On what decision the executive council is likely to take on the issue, Mr. Ibrahim said the council has several options within its statues to employ.

He said even though the unexpected May 9th disaster could be the main cause, the frequent unplanned breaks in the league could also be a factor for the delay.

Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asanti Kotoko are seeking the postponement of the seventh week league matches to enable them go to South Africa to participate in the Vodacom Challenge Cup which also involves Orlando Pirates and Kaiser Chiefs, of South Africa.

The tournament is partly to raise funds for the families of the victims of the Accra Sports Stadium and the April 11 Ellis Park disasters, in South Africa.

He said any attempt to further postponed the league could throw it out of gear.

Mr Ibrahim said the Professional League Board is faced with a huge task of rescheduling two outstanding matches involving Hearts.
