The Chairman took the opportunity to call on the handlers of the national teams to cast their net wide across the length and breadth of the nation when inviting players into the national teams since there are more raw potential talents that abound in the rural areas. Mr Aseidu=96Asare regretted that regions like the Volta Region and others have been neglected by the national team handlers despite the abundance of talents in the regions.

The Middle league is expected to commence in the middle of the year after the completion of the national Premier League in April.
