The Professional League Board of the Ghana Football Association has revised the fixtures of the 2006/07 OneTouch Premier League.
The revision of the league fixtures follows the inability of Ghana’s representatives in the CAF/MTN champions league competition - Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak to qualify to the semi final stage of the competition.
The PLB took into consideration match dates of the two clubs in the CAF competitions before announcing the fixtures for the start of the league and declared their match-days in the continental campaign free days on the domestic front.
Faced with their exit and a huge task of ending the league on time to choose formidable clubs to represent the nation in the next continental club championship, the PLB at its last meeting agreed to reschedule matches to meet its deadline.
The amendment therefore gives the league organizers the opportunity to have about 12 matches cleared by the November ending deadline when Ghana has to submit its representatives to the Confederation of African Football (CAF).
Previously, it was agreed that winners would be selected after the ninth round of matches.
According to the new fixtures, fifth week matches originally scheduled for Sunday, October 8 would be cleared on Wednesday, October 4 with the sixth week matches expected to be honoured on Sunday, October 15 instead of October 22.
