The General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Prosper Harrison Addo, has revealed that steps will be taken to vaccinate football fans at various stadia in December.
The Ghana Premier League was rocked by the COVID-19 pandemic during the start of the 2019/20 season, causing the league to come to a halt.
In an effort to prevent the pandemic from spreading, it was announced that all football fans seeking to enter stadia should be fully vaccinated.
In the recent statement on Luv FM, the GFA seeks to help fans achieve that target.
“We are ensuring that all the stakeholders of the footballing ecosystem are vaccinated. We have even engaged clubs to ensure that they can work with the Covid officials in their locality to bring them to match venues in this December that has been declared a month of vaccination in Ghana and ensure that supporters get vaccinated so that in January when government moves into full swing, soccer fans would be ready so that we don’t have anybody missing on the beautiful game of football,” he said.
“This December, a few times we will see clubs working with Covid officials at match centres on match days so that their supporters will take advantage and get vaccinated.
“Together we have to protect ourselves; we can’t protect one centre and leave the rest so until we get a good number vaccinated we are all not safe and that’s why I’ll urge and plead with both the sporting and general media to push home the message together with the government in this pandemic period,” he concluded.
This season's Ghana Premier League season is currently ongoing.
