13 June, 2012

Speaking to tufaghanafc.com a member of the RFA committee that designed the special format, Mr. Jawhari Baba-Duah noted that the new promotion format as outlined below was designed to give more playing time to players whilst considering proximity amongst clubs to reduce financial burden on travelling.
