Revamped women�s league kicks-off

Thursday, November 17, 2016

The 2016/2017 women football league will start over the weekend, with certain FIFA-inspired changes to the structures. The league has been postponed twice before; first to pave way for the country’s golden jubilee celebrations and then, over the referees’ payment impasse.
