The decision was taken after several meetings between the sports ministry, the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the national COVID-19 task force, and other participants, according to the statement.

National COVID-19 protection guidelines, as well as GFA match day COVID-19 protocols, should also be followed, according to the statement.

Last year, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo declared a ban on football fans watching matches at different league centers as part of efforts to halt the spread of the COVID-19.

Some clubs have completed the COVID stewards training program instituted by the GFA and submitted the names of the stewards to the FA.
