The President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG), Kwabena Yeboah is pleading with the government to allow fans access to stadia to watch games in the Ghana Premier League.

The new Ghana Premier League has so far been exciting with the only thing missing being the absence of fans in the stands when the games are going on.

Initially, President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo Addo announced that stadia will be allowed to be filled to 25% capacity prior to the start of the new football season.

However, in the days leading to the opening weekend of the Premier League, a statement from the Ministry of Youth and Sports indicated that all matches will be played behind closed doors as a result of the Coronavirus crisis.

Speaking to Hot FM today, Kwabena Yeboah has joined in to support growing calls for fans to be allowed to watch their teams play from the various grounds.

“I am pleading the government and Covid-19 team to allow fans to the stadium to support their clubs and I believe the clubs and GFA will ensure all the Covid-19 protocols if they can allow 25% of fans to go to the stadia to support their clubs,” the SWAG president shared.

So far all clubs are following laid down protocols to ensure players and officials on Matchdays don’t go contrary to requirements from the GFA and the government.
