Ghanaian soccer fans were thrilled to
female soccer action on Saturday, August 8, 2015 after weeks’ break to allow
the Black Queens and Black Princesses to undertake national assignments. The
fixtures for week 8, 9 and 10 were postponed to pave way for the Princesses and
Queens to play various qualifying matches.
The Ghana National Women’s League Board,
released the fixtures with the 8th week fixtures being honoured on Saturday,
August 8, 2015 with fantastic match results of week 8 across the country.
The rest of the matches were to be played
between week 9 August 15, 2015 and week 10 August 22/ 23, 2015. But after match
week 9 just ended, there was some poor officiating and match fixing between
clubs
AS a
result, “The women’s league board (WLB) has announced that all matches for
match day 10 of the national women’s league will be played on the same time and
simultaneously to be in sync with what pertains in all national leagues.
According to the management, the dates have been revised to august 22, 2015 at
3:00pm”
The main reasons why the Women League
Board call for played on the same time
and simultaneously to be in sync with what pertains in all national leagues as
the league get to its climax to
avoid match fixing and corruption
according to member of the board Leannier Addy.
Even though Ghana Football Association
funds the entire competition, some of the clubs still faced challenges of
incentives for the players, as result of lack of sponsorship for the various
teams.
Leannier Addy says, she wants the national
women league to be free, fair , corruption free and a change in situations of
women’s football from men football.
She tells me in an interviews on phone “for
now, our biggest constraint is financing and at this point of the league, the
teams in top position will do anything to be there to qualify for the
championship especially the four leading teams in both the southern and
Northern zone”
The national women’s leagues board says it
is hoping that the level of seriousness and commitments exhibit by all the
twelve teams in the national women’s leagues will qualifies hard working teams
to the championship and eventually the winner.
