The line-up of teams for the Glo Premier League is complete for next season as the promotion league ended over the weekend. Great Olympics qualified alongside two debutants, New Edubiase United and Aduana Stars to the premier league.

The Wonder Boys, who are staging their second come-back to the elite division after just a season in Division One League, topped the table in Zone III on Saturday.

New Edubiase United, handled by former national coach E.K Afranie, finished tops in Zone II with Aduana Stars doing same in Zone I. All the three promoted teams earned drawn scorelines in their final games of the play-offs.

In Zone I, New Edubiase United drew 1-1 with Gold Stars on the final day of the competition to join the qualifiers to the Premier League.

Dwarfs beat Tarkwa United 3-1 at the Ohene Djan Stadium but that was not enough to aide their qualification hopes.

Aduana Stars finished one point ahead of Guan United to qualify from Zone II, after a 3-3 draw with Bechem United at the Baba Yara Stadium.

Guan United won their final day match by 2-1 against Universal Stars at the Wesley College Park in Kumasi, but failed to beat Aduana for the final qualification ticket. v Olympics drew 2-2 with Okwawu United in Cape-Coast to clinch the top position with 5 points, two more than Okwawu and Real Sportive.

Sportive drew goalless with Mighty Jets at the Gyandu Park.

Interestingly, Olympics were the only side to have won a game in Zone III, with both Sportive and Okwawu drawing all of their three matches. GFA
