Communications Director of GFA, Henry Asante Twum

Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association Henry Asante Twum has said that the association cannot challenge government decision over suspension of football in the country.

The Ghana Premier League was suspended in March due to the Coronavirus outbreak in the country.

It is unclear whether the football season will be truncated or not due to the rapid growth of the deadly disease.

Henry Asante in an interview expressed that the Ghana FA is working hand in hand with the government to know the fate of the topflight league.

“We cannot sideline the government and do anything on our own. We have to consult, dialogue, and do all the various engagement before taking any decision. But the truth is that we cannot challenge the government if they insist football should still be on suspension till September or December”

“We’ve given ourselves till the end of June. As an FA, we are dialoguing, consulting, taking views and exploring every single avenue or option which is available to us” He told Otec FM.

The GFA medical team led by Dr. Baba Adam met the Gov’t medical advising team on Thursday, May 21, 2020 to deliberate on the future of the football season under COVID-19.
