Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) chairman Cudjoe Fianoo admits that clubs will suffer financially if games are played behind closed doors.

The 2019/20 Ghana Football season has been suspended since March due to the coronavirus outbreak in the country.

Tbere have been calls for the league to restart behind closed doors amid the pandemic but according to the GHALCA boss, Ghanaian clubs do not have the financial muscle to continue the season because a lot clubs are in financial crisis.

"Our major source of revenue is playing at home. Clubs will suffer if we decide to play matches behind closed doors because there is no sponsorship for our league. We had a meeting with the GFA to see how we will go about it" Fianoo told Kumasi based OTEC Fm

"Which team in Ghana will get that $80 - $100 to text a player every time like what the Europeans are doing?" He quizzes

"We shouldn't compare ourselves to the Europeans because we are a 3rd World country not like them who have advanced and have more advantages than we do" He added.
