The league was initially scheduled to kick off on February 11, 2018, but Gt. Olympics submitted an interlocutory injunction to the GFA to stop the body from launching the Ghana Premier League, which led to an indefinite postponement.
However, the GFA has now confirmed that the 2017/18 league season will kick off on March 3.
The official launch of the season is expected to be held on Monday at the forecourt of the GFA secretariat.

“However, following an Accra High Court’s decision not to grant the application during its hearing on Wednesday, the GFA announced the kick-off date during its Ordinary Congress, which was held Wednesday afternoon in Accra.
“Ahead of the kick off, the new season will be launched next Monday at the forecourt of the GFA at 6:00 p.m.”
