However, the Executive Council has decided that following the guidelines advisory from FIFA when normalcy is restored the GFA will apply to FIFA to open the window for a period to allow clubs to strengthen their squads.

The Premier and Division One League, the Women's Premier Leagues are currently on hold due to the Corona Virus pandemic.
