Clubs still to play without spectators

Meanwhile, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has decided to postpone admitting spectators to match venues after consulting with the National COVID-19 Task Force.

The decision is based on measures being put in place to combat COVID-19 during the Easter celebrations and takes into consideration the government’s continued efforts to avoid a third wave of the virus, football officials said.

A statement issued by the  GFA said it will in the coming days, “develop and test further protocols to safely admit fans into the stadium”.

Advance ticketing

“The GFA will, again, develop an entry and exit protocol in addition to the existing approved match day COVID-19 protocols including the introduction of advance ticketing to avoid overcrowding at entry points,” it said.

The Ghana FA is promising to “work closely with the government COVID-19 Task Force and all other related agencies to ensure a safer return of spectators to the various match venues”.

It has therefore urged clubs to adhere strictly to the COVID-19 protocols, approved GFA COVID-19 protocols and all the existing modalities for playing matches behind closed doors.
