FKF Premier League clubs have reiterated their position not to honour the league run by the FKF Transition Committee that is penciled to kick off on Saturday 1 October.Last week, top tier clubs CEOs met and reached a decision not to honour a league that is not recognized by world football governing body, FIFA. This in turn dealt a massive blow to Transition Committee’s hopes of running the top tier league for another season.On Monday however, the committee appeared defiant and went ahead to release league fixtures. They maintained that they are still in charge of football in country and are confident that the 2022/23 season, whose kick off date has been pushed forward on three occasions will commence on the first day of October.The Transition Committee have released fixtures.Their league starts on Saturday.
