GFA President, Kurt Okraku
GFA President Kurt Okraku backed his team’s decision to cancel the 2019-2020 soccer season due to coronavirus disruptions, insisting that the FA and the government made the best decision.
It has been a year since all football activities were stopped due to the increase in covid 19 cases.
National football in Ghana has been on hold since a national ban on public gatherings, including sporting and religious events, went into effect as part of measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus disease on March 15 last year.
The Premier League was in the week 15 stage of matches when it was stopped by the coronavirus pandemic.
Speaking to Starr Sports, the FA chief says they have never regretted making such a decision as it was to save lives.
“Covid has had a negative impact not only on football but around the world. Yes, twelve months ago we decided to respect the covid-19 because we wanted to protect lives and we wanted to meet again as human beings and not as people who cannot breathe as human beings ”.
He noted: “I think the FA and the government made the best decision and today we are back, enjoying our football amid the fact that covid is not completely gone. But we must also remember that covid has come to stay with us and we have to learn to take care of ourselves even in these difficult times. “
