Many has called for the total annulment of the season, with King Faisal FC Bankroller Alhaji Karim Grusah being the leading advocate. However, a section believes that, it should be continued when the situation is good to hold football games.

However, speaking to Kumasi-based Opemsuo Radio, the former Ghana Football Association Capo confirmed that the League will continue based on the outcome of the engagement between the GFA and CAF as well the government of Ghana for financial assistance.

“We want to continue the league to avoid legal tussles but that will be contingent on what comes out from our engagement with government and CAF for financial assistance,” Alhaji MND Jawula noted.
