COVID-19: GFA confident of June 30 decision on 2019/20 season

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) says it is optimistic about making a final decision on the 2019/20 football season by June 30, 2020.

Since March, football activities have been halted due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the West African nation.

Ghana’s government further placed doubts about a possible return of the game in the country any time soon by extending the suspension of contact sport disciplines until July 31.

In a letter dated June 11 and addressed to club owners and CEOs, GFA President Kurt Okraku expressed the confidence that an agreement will be made on the continuance or otherwise of the season by the end of the month.

“As you are aware in our previous engagements, the Executive Council gave on or before June 30, 2020, as the deadline to make a decision on the league after considering all factors.

“We continue to engage all key stakeholders including Wafu, Caf and Fifa at both the Committees, General Secretaries and the President’s levels to ensure that our Association is at the forefront of all the discussions on the season and possible resumptions dates for football (no firm dates given yet by any of the bodies).

“We are firm in our conviction that by June 30, 2020 we would have gathered enough information to aid us in our decision making,” President Okraku wrote.
