King Faisal will commence preparation for the 2020/21 season in the coming months after the 2019/20 was truncated by the Ghana Football Association.

King Faisal were left at the bottom of the truncated 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season after amassing only six points in the first round.
However, Mr Amoako won the Normalization Committee Special Competition which propelled them to play in the CAF Champions League.
