Ghana FA to hold emergency meeting with clubs over season’s future
The Ghana Football Association has hinted it could hold a meeting with clubs to discuss the fate of the season via video conference amid the coronavirus shutdown.
Football in Ghana has been suspended since March this year due to the novel outbreak.
However, the Ghana Football Association plans to hold an Extraordinary Congress involving all 126 members to deliberate on the future of the 2019/2020 season following the gradual easing of restrictions by the government.
“We took a decision to organize an extraordinary Congress to deliberate on a number of football issues, but COVID-19 happened, and public gathering was banned,” a statement signed by FA boss Kurt Okraku on Thursday read.
“Currently, the approved protocols allow a gathering of 100 people. However, the membership of the GFA Congress, the Secretariat staff, and the media who attend Congress will be far beyond the limit. As a result, we are unable to organize Congress as we used to.
“It is, however, refreshing to note that recently, the registrar general’s department has indicated a possibility of holding Annual General Meetings of Companies online after meeting certain criteria and obtaining approval from the Registrar’s Department.
“We are currently exploring the idea of holding a Congress online after receiving the necessary approval from the Registrar of Companies. When this becomes possible, the Secretariat would communicate to all members appropriately. ”
The league’s suspension means doubt has been cast over the 2019-20 season will finish.
