The betPawa Premier League has been on a month's break for the 2022 FIFA World Cup and would resume on Monday December 19 across all league centres.

The Accra stadium, which is home to the three Greater Accra Regional clubs and under the care of the National Sports Authority (NSA), has been rented out for other purposes.

According to the Communications Director at Hearts of Oak, Kwame Larbi Opare Addo, they have been informed of the unavail-ability of the facility up until after the second week of January 2023.

"Yes, we have received a letter to the effect that the Accra Sports Stadium would not be available for us to use up until after the second week in January 2023," he told the Times Sports yesterday.

"In the light of this, we have also communicated to the Football Association for our home games to be pushed to our alternative venue which is the Cape Coast Sports Stadium up until Accra is ready to host our games."

Accra Lions, who is the other affected team, have also opted for the WAFA Park in Soga-kope and will host new boys Samartex on Monday.
