Football will return soon – Information Minister hints

-

Kojo Oppong-Nkrumah has hinted that football is likely to return this month following an interaction with medical advisers.

Since mid-March, professional football in the country has been on a halt due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The Ghana Football Association was initially hopeful of getting exemption to finish the 2019/2020 season but its proposal was turned down by the government.

Expectations were that the president was going to lift the ban on contact sports in his last address but that also did not materialise.

The Minister of Information in an interview with Asempa FM said football will surely return in the next address of the President.
