General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Prosper Harrison Addo, has confirmed that the country’s top-flight football will resume soon.
The Ghana Premier League has been suspended following the murder of Asante Kotoko fan, Francis Frimpong during the Matchday 19 game against Nsoatreman FC at the Nana Kronmansah Park.
Having suspended the Matchday 20 games, Prosper Harrison Addo speaking in an interview said the Premier League will not return this weekend but assured that the top flight will soon return.
“We are going progressively and as fast as we can,” he told Asempa FM.
“We are moving together and we want to bring everybody along. We will make that engagement and announce a date for the resumption of the league.
“We will plead with the supporters to be patient, [announcement] will be done soon.
“Matches will not come off this weekend but we are moving as fast as we can,” he added.
Meanwhile, the GFA has approved newly enhanced matchday safety and security protocols for various football competitions to curb hooliganism.
The measures include appointing Club Safety and Security Officers and installing CCTV cameras at match venues. Clubs that fail to comply or cooperate with the protocols will face sanctions, including a GH₵20,000 fine and a venue ban.
