National League Board chairman Rajesh Patel has announced an emergency meeting to take place in Suva on Sunday.

He said the emergency meeting is to discuss proposals made by the new national league sponsor secured by the Fiji FA after previous sponsors pulled out.

Patel said as planned the national league series would start this month.

It is likely the league format will be changed to suit Fiji FA’s busy 2007 schedule, the number of games will be less which will see districts playing each other once instead of the previous home and away series.

The change was earlier proposed by Fiji FA but mooted by district officials in the first National League Board meeting in Suva last month.

According to Patel other issues on the discussion table were to hold senior division fixtures as curtain raisers for the main super premier games and for the bottom placed team to be automatically demoted to senior ranks.

Inspite of the changes Patel said this year’s league series would be the richest to be contested ever.

Over the last two years Ba pocketed $16000 cash and $4000 worth of sports vouchers for winning the title.

Also part of discussions will be a separate league series for southern districts to be played throughout the year.

Meanwhile in the latest world ranking release by FIFA, Argentina has displaced world champion Italy from the top spot.

Four time world cup champions Brazil is third, followed by France, Germany and England.

Fiji remains at 153.
