Ghana FA Medical Committee Chief Dr Adam Baba has said that the 2020/21 football season cannot start on the tentative date communicated by the President Nana Akufo-Addo in his latest address on the restart of football activities.

The President gave the green light for the restart of football after a six month suspension due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

The new season as communicated by the President is scheduled to start on October 30, 2020 but the Ghana FA medical chief says it will be impossible for the new season to kick off on that date.

He explained that clubs are yet to begin preparations ahead of the new season and with testing to be done as well the various teams will need more time.

“It is impossible to start the league in October from my point of view. If the government said go ahead, you can start but we cannot start in October,” Baba told Kumasi FM.

”There’s no team that can tell you that it has started preparation. We need a minimum of four to six weeks for the clubs, they need to purchase new players and start pre-season training which cannot be done in three weeks.

“Practically, we give ourselves four to six weeks from the time we’ve been asked to start so the earliest we might start in November.”
