Ashantigold Coach Duah Want GPL Season Cancelled

Ashantigold head coach Thomas Duah has called for the current Ghana Premier League (GPL) season to be cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Duah further opposed handing over the trophy to table leaders Aduana Stars if the coronavirus pandemic, that has claimed 38 lives in the country, persists.

The GPL has been on hold since the West African nation placed a ban on all public gatherings as part of measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus outbreak.

On Sunday, football was dealt another blow after the ban on contact sports was extended to July 31 by the Ghanaian government.

“I don’t see why we should continue with the league looking at the time left for us,” Duah told Oyerepa FM.

“You go to Belgium, Holland and France they have all ended their leagues, they are more advanced than us but what did they do,” he added.

Duah joins a raft of club officials who have come out with their own opinions on how the league should be decided.

He further pointed out that it’s difficult for the championship to be played behind closed doors as a section of football community has been calling

“Some are suggesting playing behind closed doors that I disagree because we can’t do without the supporters, that’s not us, it can’t work,” Duah noted.

Ghana Premier League was scheduled to end on July 19th following a special premonition from  Confederation of African Football (CAF) because of the initial normalization process of Ghana football.

The Ghana Football Association has so far made two attempts to have football back but it has been opposed by the government as the havoc wrecked by the coronavirus pandemic has left everyone in a catch-22 situation.
