The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has called on clubs to halt training session immediately and fully respect the directives of President Nana Akufo–Addo.
Despite the suspension of the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League over the spread of coronavirus, some clubs have failed to release their players.
However, the country’s football governing body has released a statement to caution these clubs to break camp and adhere to directives from the President of the country.
Ghana has so far recorded 16 confirmed cases of the disease, also known as Covid-19
Below is the statement:
“The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has closed its offices until further notice because of Coronavirus concerns.
