The GFA in a statement have announced that the GFA offices will remain closed despite the lift of the lockdown ban effective 20th April, 2020.
The announcement for the GFA Offices to remain closed was made in a press release by the FA communications team.
With a ban on football in place and even the Black Stars missing their AFCON qualifiers, the country and the footballing world has been struck by the COVID 19 pandemic and are still recovering from it.
The FA in a press release on their official website said;
“The public is hereby informed that the offices of the Ghana Football Association remain closed despite government’s decision to lift the partial lockdown in the Greater Accra, Greater Kumasi and Kasoa environs.”
“This is because the government’s directive on public gathering of 25 or more persons is still in force.”
“Members of the GFA, including clubs, Regional Football Associations and all stakeholders are being reminded to continue with the use of the online systems of the GFA (email, Registration System – FIFA Connect etc) to communicate with the Secretariat.”
“Football clubs are advised to strictly comply with the ban on gathering and sporting activities and are therefore reminded that group training is still not allowed until the ban on social gathering is lifted by the state.”
It will be recalled that the president has still maintained the ban on public gatherings, which means no sporting activities can take place in the next few weeks while the country finds means to deal with the COVID 19 pandemic.
