    The Board approved the 2017 Season calendar and directs the secretariat to ensure compliance.

    The Board approved the total number of teams in division one (60), Division two (70) and Division three (50), this adjustment was necessitated by the request from would be sponsor that requested for more matches.

    The Board has directed the Secretariat to reduce the grouping in division two from eight to six geo-political zones only and allow the teams that comes first in each group at the end of the season to get automatic promotion to division one and allows the 6 runners up to fight for the remaining two slot in a play-off.
