The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has disclosed that the Premier League will still continue despite Black Stars’ upcoming 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.
Reports went rife in the media that the top-flight will be on hold until the Stars play against Ethiopia and South Africa.
But the GFA is keen to continue the Premier League during the international break.
“The league just started last week. This weekend we have played matchday two and it’s been a while since Asante Kotoko SC played at the Baba Yara but looking at the crowd here even under Covid restrictions, it is very impressive.”
“Therefore, as an FA we think that there is no need to break or postpone the games but rather, we have a plan that on Friday, Gold Stars will play against Kotoko, then on Saturday, other games will continue,” GFA Communications Director, Asante Twum told Ahomka FM.
“Also on Sunday, all matches are scheduled at 3 PM, hoping that by 5 PM, all league games will be cleared. Moreover, the Black Stars game will be played at 7 PM so people can still go back home from league centers and enjoy the Stars game comfortably.”
“Every Premier League game is going on as scheduled,” he added.
Milovan Rajevac’s side will take on Ethiopia on matchday five of the qualifiers at the Orlando stadium in Johannesburg on Thursday, November 11, 2021, at 15:00Hrs GMT.
