Ghanaian Football is set for return after a long break due to the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.

The Minister of Information, Honorable Kojo Oppong Nkrumah, has confirmed that football activities in the country will restart this month following a number of government interactions with medical practitioners.

The minister says, the country’s need for football has been highlighted by President Nana Akuffo Addo and a decision has been taken on the reinstatement of football.

“Our President is a fan of football, by next week, I believe football will bounce back per what we have reached,” Kojo Oppong Nkrumah told the media.

Football in Ghana was paused in March due to the COVID-19 pandemic but some national sides were given permission to prepare for upcoming qualifiers.
