Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association Henry Asante Twum  says they are engaging the Government and Ministry of Youth Sports to allow fans back into the various Stadium amid covid-19 restrictions.

The Ministry of Youth and Sports (MOYS) before the start of the league directed that all sporting events be held behind closed doors after a spike in COVID-19 cases in the country.

Government of Ghana had initially ordered football matches could be held with a 25% of capacity of match venues.

But the  rise in the number of the COVID-19 cases changed the situation forcing clubs to play the game behind close doors.

“We have engaged the sector ministry and still we are speaking with the government to allow fans into the various stadia and we hope government will accept our proposal.” – Asante told Kessben FM Sports in an interview.

The broadcast journalist also revealed how clubs are struggling playing behind close doors.

“I have been to various venues this year and the number of people I see behind the gates is overwhelming, knowing very well there’s a ban by the government.

“What I’m saying is, nobody is happy playing the games behind closed doors, even economically and financially, it’s taking a lot from these clubs.

“Our industry is not so strong to do without gate revenues, our clubs rely heavily on the gate proceeds so playing behind closed doors is hectic for the clubs.” He added
