Assistant coach of Ghana Premier League side, Inter Allies Tony Lokko has supported the GFA’s decision to scrap the remainder of the 2019/20 football season.

The Ghana FA’s executive council after a marathon meeting on Tuesday decided to cancel the season which had been suspended since March 16 due to the Coronavirus pandemic.

Ghana has so far recorded over 17,000 confirmed cases of the novel disease with 112 deaths.

According to coach Lokko, the decision was expected and long overdue looking at the seriousness of the situation at hand.

“I think it is welcomed and long overdue. We expected it because when the game went for a break we all saw that the virus was not making it possible for us to resume”

“Looking at the situation at hand, even if we are to resume the preparation towards the game will take a longer time so I think it is a good idea from the Ghana FA to cancel the league for now and prepare for a better calendar” he told S.K Ntim of Bryt FM

“In fact we are all happy it has come that way though the FA may be losing certain things but technically it is a welcoming news for the coaches I believe” he said.
