President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, has revealed that clubs, referees and match commissioners will take a huge hit if the Ghana football season is cancelled.
The respective leagues have been suspended since the outbreak of the coronavirus, hitting clubs, referees and match commissioners hard on finances.
Kurt also added that if the leagues are cancelled, players will stand to lose money and fans will lose the excitement that comes with watching games.
“It will be another challenging period for the clubs, referees, match commissioners, if the season is cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, he told Ohene-Bampoe Brenya via Zoom on Happy 98.9FM.
“At the lower leagues, football indirectly contributes a lot to the economy. Also with football, sponsors will not continue to bring their money on board. The GFA will lose partners, Clubs will also lose their deals with partners and sponsors, Players may lose either their contracts or endorsements, fans will also lose that excitement they get when they watch the games."
A decision on the future of the leagues will be made in June 30.
