Clubs to oppose 2019/20 season returning behind closed doors

According to reports, the Ghana FA has proposed to the government to continue with the 2019/20 football season behind closed doors.

The National Sports Authority (NSA) has indicated that it will not be able to bear the cost of running the various stadia across the country should games be played behind closed doors.
