President Nana Akufo-Addo has announced the lifting of all restriction on contact sports starting on the 30th of October.
This is means there is going to be a restart of the Ghana Premier League and the Division One League.
However, stadium capacity is expected to be peaked at 25% of the original capacity.
President Akufo-Addo announced this during his 17th televised broadcast to the nation on measures his government has taken to combat the novel Coronavirus.
He said there will be routine tests for all the players, technical and management staff.
“Toward the progressive easing of restrictions, the government has taken the decision to allow the resume of training for all contact sports taking into consideration the imminent participation of our national teams in international competitions. Indeed, some national teams have already been given the dispensation to begin training ahead of their international engagements. All sports people who are camped are to be tested regularly.”
“Fellow Ghanaians with respect to football, after due consultations with the Ghana Football Association, it has been decided that the Ghana Premier League and the Division One Football League will resume on Friday, October 30, 2020, with a full routine of testing of the players, technical and management staff. No spectators will be allowed at the training centres. When actual competition resumes, seating at all stadia will be limited to 25 percent capacity. The wearing of masks by spectators at stadia will be mandatory,” he said.
