The government have planned to cater for the cost of COVID-19 testing of players in the local leagues according to National Sports Authority director Peter Twumasi.
The Ghana Premier League is scheduled to return in November and per CAF regulations, players will have to be tested before playing in matches.
The costs of this seem to be enormous and the government have decided to help cater for it.
“Just yesterday I met with all the federation heads on behalf of the Ministry of Youth and Sports including football. One of the constraints they shared with us was the testing of athletes and players before they enter the games. They therefore made a request to government to absolve the cost involved in the testing and my minister has accepted it and at the appropriate time he’ll put it out,” Peter Twumasi told Luv FM.
