Sports Minister Isaac Asiamah with GFA President Kurt Okraku

Ghana Premier League clubs are set to get huge Gh¢50,000 support from the Ministry of Youth and Sports as 2020/21 league games are being played behind closed doors due to the coronavirus crisis.

Ahead of the start of the season, the Sports Ministry in a statement last week directed all sporting events across the country to be played behind closed doors due to COVID-19.

Matches in the Ghanaian top-flight are currently played behind closed doors which has emerged as a financial burden on the participating clubs.

However, a report filed by Accra-based Angel FM, the Sports Ministry has pledged to cushion the financial burden on the top-tier clubs with a token of GH¢50,000.

The Ghana Premier League has started on a competitive level as only one victory was recorded after 9 round of games in the opening day.

In the nine matches played on Matchday 1, only WAFA SC and the King Faisal fixture produced a win as eight matches ended in stalemates.

The game between Aduana Stars and Hearts of Oak was cancelled at the last hour due to medical reasons.

Matchday 2 of the Ghana Premier League kick-off this weekend.
