Youth and Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah (Hon.) is confident football will resume soon following lift of ban on both individual and team contact sports.
Asiamah said this on Tuesday, September 01, 2020 during the 26th ordinary session of congress of the Ghana Football Association at the Ghanaman centre of Excellence at Prampram.
"Let me commend you for the various steps you have taken in developing Ghana football after the Normalisation process. Indeed, the innovative and inspiring BringBackTheLove campaign embarked on by the GFA showed clear signs that football was on ascendancy and fans were beginning to patronize domestic league matches again.
"Unfortunately, the COVID-19 pandemic halted the momentum that the leagues were generating. It is our fervent hope that innovative steps would be put in place to ensure that when the game finally returns, which I know will be very soon, it will pick up from where it left off.
"With the positive results we are getting from the fight against the pandemic, Government is optimistic that soon it would be safe and appropriate to lift the restrictions on both individual and team contact sports activities in Ghana " the lawmaker added.
There has been no football in country since the suspension of sporting activities in March amid the Covid-19.
The GFA is yet to outline its plans on how football can return safely, however the FA would prefer to restart in October.
