Ghana Premier League returns in October with new format

Asante Kotoko versus Hearts of Oak is the biggest clash in Ghana Premier League

The 2020/21 Ghana Premier League has been scheduled to start on October 31 with an entirely different format.

The 2019/20 season was truncated due to the outbreak of the novel coronavirus.

Football in the West African country came to a standstill in mid-March and after a marathon meeting on June 30, the Executive Council announced the annulment of the season.

However, information gathered by Asempa Sports suggests that the 18 teams will be divided into two Zones, i.e., Northern Zone and Southern Zone.

Northern teams

Asante Kotoko
Ashanti Gold
Aduana Stars
Berekum Chelsea
Bechem United
King Faisal
Medeama SC
Eleven Wonders
Legon Cities FC

Southern teams

Dreams FC
Karela United
Hearts of Oak
Accra Great Olympic
Elmina Sharks
WAFA SC
Inter Allies
Ebusua Dwarfs
Liberty Professionals

This new calendar will help synchronise the Ghana Premier League with the European calendar.

Meanwhile, the transfer window opens on August 31 and ends on October 31.

Asante Kotoko and Ashgold have been given the nod to represent Ghana in the Caf inter-club competition next season.
