The Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority Hon. Kwadwo Baah Agyemang has cautioned the Ghana Football Association (GFA) not to rush to resume football activities in the country.

Football activities in the country have been frozen since March due to the deadly COVID-19 pandemic. The government of Ghana placed a ban on public gatherings. This was to lessen recording fresh cases.

However, efforts are being made by the GFA for the return of football.

Earlier this month, GFA sent a proposal to the Government for resumption of the league, adding how they would go about the game if restrictions are reviewed.

But according Baah Agyemang, the suspended season should be annulled completely.

“We shouldn’t rush in returning football because we have to get things right first before making any decisions,” he told Asempa FM.

“I agree with the school of thought that, the season should be cancelled. We shouldn’t rush if the Western world are returning their football seasons. If it’s easy, the EPL [English Premier League] would have started a long time.

“There other European countries calling off their Football seasons. Even France and Belgium have declared their Champions and Ghana is of no exception.

“We need to ensure that we have the capacity to protect those involved in our game before even play resumes.”
