The light at the end of the tunnel of the Edo State Football Association is, at last giving a signal of its existence as the Electoral Committee chaired by Professor Darlington Obaseki, releases its election timetable.
After many cold wars and maligning of images by people of interest in the election which came on the bounce the removal of the former Chairman, Comrade Roland Abu, occurred due to allegations levelled against him by the board members.
The election into the office of Chairman, Vice Chairman and board members of the Association is scheduled to hold 11 days after the local government football council election
According to the timetable signed by the FA Secretary, Mr. Tony Owens, the collection of nomination forms and electoral guidelines of the local government football council election is scheduled for 27th July to August 4th.

The display of eligible candidates would be done on 16th August and the appeal day is scheduled for 17th August.
The election will hold on the 18th of August at a location that will be communicated by the electoral committee.
