Former Ghana FA boss Nana Brew Butler warns footie chiefs not to rush season restart

Published on: 23 June 2020

Former Ghana FA chief Nana Sam Brew-Butler has warned football bosses rushing back the season too quickly, revealing he will withdraw his players from competing in the Premier League amid the coronavirus shutdown.

The Ghana Football Association is desperate to get playing again after government eased restrictions.

But Nana Sam Brew Butler, who is the Board Chairman of Premier League side Ebusua Dwarfs, has warned it could be carnage if the players across the country are rushed back onto the pitch.

“All the precautions are being taken [by the state and stakeholders in the health sector] so why do they want to annul it. I have a lot of sons playing football but I would stop them from playing should football return looking at the situation,” he told GTV Sports Plus.

“Although other leagues in Europe have started without spectators, we need to learn from what they have done and take key lessons from it before we can do something about starting the games.”
