Ghana Premier League to return in October with new format - Report

The 2020/21 Ghana Premier League will be played in a different format when the season begins on October 31.

Football activity in Ghana was halted in mid-March due to the coronavirus crisis.

The country’s top-flight was consequently annulled following a marathon meeting by the Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) on June 30.

According to media reports, the campaign will commence on October 31 but with a different format as the 18 teams will be divided into two Zones, i.e., Northern Zone and Southern Zone.
