Sports Ministry orders all sporting activities to be held behind closed doors

The Ministry for Youth and Sports has ordered that all sporting activities in the country should be done behind closed doors.

This means that no spectators will be allowed at any sporting event.

This also means that in the upcoming 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League season, the stipulated 25% capacity expectancy has been scrapped, although the FA has not confirmed it.

Already, the Black Stars of Ghana played against Sudan in the 2021 AFCON qualifiers behind closed doors as part of measures taken by the Confederation of African Football (CAF), to ensure that games are played in the safest possible way amidst the global COVID-19 pandemic.
