No more mid-week league matches

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has directed that there should be no mid-week matches in the remaining matches of the Star Premier League.

The directive supersedes all previous arrangements announced by the Ghana FA, which sought to organize a few mid-week matches alongside the weekend ones in the league.

According to the FA Secretariat, the exit of Obuasi Goldfield from their CAF Cup campaign is a major reason for this new development.

The FA found itself in a tight corner, having to contend with a whole bunch of issues including the early completion of the league and the FA Cup in order to declare the country's representatives to the various CAF organized competitions, as well as the preparations of the Black Stars for CAN 2002 kicking of in January next year.

Although unfortunate that Goldfields were kicked out of the CAF Cup this month, the FA heaved a sigh of relief to this and under developments that have ensured that there would be no foreign interference in the way the league goes anymore.
