NB: only 25 rounds were played due to the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, for which the
    national team of Ghana needed time to prepare.  Because of this, the
    bottom four clubs were not relegated.  However, Asante Kotoko were
    recognized as 1963/64 champions.

Promoted: Wassaaman FC and Hasaacas (Sekondi-Takoradi).
