Bechem United CEO welcomed the decision by the President to lift the ban for football to return.

He suggested that for teams to prepare adequately for the new season, the Ghana FA should consider starting off the new season in December.

“We commencing the league in December would have been better for the players to train and attain match fitness but all in all, we will adjust to it starting next month.”, he said in an interview

“It’s been far too long not experiencing football for the past four months. We are really pleased for the lifting of the ban,”

“The measures of 25% supporters at the stadium is really good, it shows how the President of the Nation thinks about our football,”, he added.
