Football activities in Ghana are set to resume soon in a statement released by the GFA Normalisation Committee on Friday, December 14 stating "it has outlined the way forward for the resumption of official domestic football activities in the country."

The Ghana Premier League and other domestic competitions have been halted following the premiering of the investigative documentary by ace journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on corruption on Ghana football where some top GFA officials and referees were caught on camera taking a bribe to influence matches.

Below is the statement released by the four-member committee:

"The GFA Normalization Committee is pleased to announce that it has outlined the way forward for the resumption of official domestic football activities in the country.

The Normalization Committee has created a new competition structure, which will involve all sixteen (16) Premier League and all forty eight (48) Division One League clubs in the country.

The new competition, which will keep all the clubs active during the GFA normalization process, as well as produce Ghana’s representatives for the next CAF Champions League and Confederations Cup respectively, is scheduled to start on January 26, 2019 and end on April 21, 2019

The Normalization Committee appreciates the quest of our members and football-loving Ghanaians for football to return, hence the extra effort we put in place to find the needed resources for this special competition.

The competition will soon be launched and the full details of the format will be announced.

In a related development, the Normalization Committee is also finalizing arrangements for the resumption of the women’s and regional competitions.

We look forward to an exciting return of domestic football in the country with the support of all our stakeholders. We urge all football fans to embrace the fresh opportunity and patronize the upcoming matches at the various venues"

Thank you.
