The Ghana Football Association has until May 5, 2020, to make a decision on the status of the 2019/ 2020 league season.
The decision has become necessary following the abrupt suspension of the league due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus pandemic in the country.
Football governing body on the continent, Confederation of African Football, CAF, has directed, in a letter written to all General Secretaries of Football Administrations in the member nations, that a determination of the league status should be decided by May 5, 2020.
UEFA is yet to decide the status of the UCL but some member countries have either suspended their leagues or made plans to resume.
Belgium, France and the Netherlands have all been forced to end their seasons because of the suspension of sporting activities in the respective countries by the government.
Britain, Germany and Italy, some of the hardest-hit countries of the pandemic have, however, initiated talks to resume their seasons though concrete dates are yet to be announced.
To make appropriate plans for football on the continent and draw a timetable to guide football activities in Africa, CAF says, “In view of the current circumstances, we would like to enquire about the current situation of your national leagues/ National cup (ranking, number of pending matches etc…) as well as the strategies you intend to apply to finalise those competitions be it through completion or annulment
“We would appreciate receiving a reply by the 5th of May 2020, in order to enable us to design a plan for the organisation of our interclub competitions during the next season,†the statement added.
The suspension of the league season has come as deadly blow to the clubs in the Ghana Premier League as clubs were just recovering from a 2-year break following the dissolution of the FA.
This was as a result of an investigative piece that uncovered alleged cases of corruption and malfeasance by the administration at the time.
