A presidential advisor on health, Dr. Anthony Nsiah Asare has hinted that Government will absorb the costs of Covid-19 tests for Clubs as the 2020/21 football season in Ghana starts next month.

Speaking during his COVID-19 update number 17 on Sunday, September 20, President Nana Addo announced that the resumption of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League and the Division One League will start on Friday 30th October 2020.

The government placed an embargo on all football-related activities in March 2020 following the outbreak of the coronavirus in Ghana. This decision led to the cancellation of the 2019/2020 football season and as such, all records associated with it were expunged.

”With respect to football, after due consultations with the Ghana Football Association, it has been decided that the Ghana Premier League and the Division One Football League will restart on Friday, 30th October, with a full regime of testing of the players, technical and management staff,” the President said.

”The government of Ghana will absorb the cost of the COVID-19 for all the clubs just as it was done for the national teams that begun camping,” he told  ON KUMASI FM 104.1 on Monday.

”They are many and the cost is huge but the government is committed to fighting this pandemic.
”They will be tested right after they begin camping and another will be done when the league commences and in the middle of the league. Ours cannot be done regularly as it’s been done elsewhere,” he concluded.

Meanwhile, the head of the Medical Committee of the Ghana Football Association, Dr. Adam Baba, says football can preferably commence in Ghana in November and not next month.
”It is impossible to start the league in October from my point of view. If the government said go ahead, you can start but we cannot start in October,” Dr. Baba said.

”There’s no team that can tell you that it has started preparation. We need a minimum of four to six weeks for the clubs, they need to purchase new players and start preseason training which cannot be done in three weeks.

”Practically, we give ourselves four to six weeks from the time we’ve been asked to start so the earliest we might start in November.”
