King Faisal PRO urges GFA to cancel 2019/20 league season

Published on: 30 April 2020

King Faisal Public Relations Officer Awal Mohammed has urged the Ghana Football Association to cancel the 2019/20 league season due to coronavirus pandemic.

The disease has led to the suspension of all football activities in the country including the Ghana Premier League and FA has until May 5 to take a decision on whether the current campaign will be annulled or continued.

Awal believes that lack of facilities in Ghana will make it difficult to re-start the league, citing how European countries with even more resources are finding it difficult to regroup and continue their leagues.

"In our current situation with Covid–19 you can tell that even European countries that are more advanced are finding it difficult to regroup to train and start their leagues," he explained on Citi FM.

"Just recently the French Ligue 1 cancelled their season.

"In Ghana, we don’t have the facilities to regroup as soon as possible so King Faisal’s stance is that due to these factors if we cancel the league now and plan for next season it will be the best for all involved."

King Faisal are bottom of the league table with only six points after 14 matches played thus far prior to the league's suspension.
