Kwabena Yeboah fearful Covid-19 will lead to collapse of Ghanaian clubs

Published on: 20 May 2020

President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), Kwabena Yeboah is fearful several clubs in the country will go extinct if the Coronavirus (Covid-19) disease forces the cancelation of the league season. 

Football in the country has been on hold as a precautionary measure against the spread of the Covid-19 disease which seems to be getting worse by the day.

With no vaccine ready and the increasing number of confirmed cases, it is likely the Ghana Football Association (GFA) will announce the cancelation of the 2019/2020 season.

According to Kwabena Yeboah, clubs will collapse in the country if it comes to that due to the financial challenges they are already going through.

“Even when the league was in full flight, the clubs suffered a great deal. Embarrassingly in Ghana, some of our players take home a paltry $100 at the end of the month and you will just wonder how they will survive on that", the ace sportscaster said in an interview on Joy FM yesterday.

He added, “If the league is canceled, I bet you that quite a number of our teams could be extinct".
