2021/22 Ghana Premier League: Supporters to watch games with Covid-19 vaccination card - Dr. Nsiah Asare

Published on: 28 October 2021

Dr Nsiah Asare, head of government adviser on health has insisted only fans with Covid-19 cards will be allowed to watch the games at the various centres.

The 2021/22 Ghana Premier League season kick off this weekend at the various stadia with Accra Lions hosting Elmina Sharks at the Accra Sports Stadium on Friday night.

After playing last season with or no fans, Dr Nsiah in an interview said, government and Ghana Football Association are putting in place measures to lift the ban on watching games but it is possible that only those who have been vaccinated will be allowed entry in order to stop the spread of the disease.

“So far as the COVID-19 cases aren’t rising at an alarming rate in-country right now doesn’t mean we should allow more people to go to the stadiums when the season starts,” Dr Nsiah told Angel FM.

“We have only 4.1% vaccinated people in the country and it’s most likely that fans will go to the stadium with their Vaccination cards,” he added.
