Asante Kotoko midfielder Kwame Adom Frimpong wants the 2019/20 Ghana Premier League season canceled due to the coronavirus crisis that has brought all sporting activities t a standstill.
The topflight has been suspended since March following the outbreak of the deadly virus in the West African state, forcing President of the country Nana Akufo Addo to ban all social gatherings including sports activities.
Adom Frimpong joins Great Olympics midfielder Gladson Awako in calls for the season to be declared null and void despite the completion of the first round of the campaign.
"We should declare the season null and void," Adom Frimpong told Kotoko Express App
"We are faced with a deadly virus and our focus must be on saving lives than football. It would be better to call off the season and wait until the pandemic is over before we start a new one than to play in an empty stadium.
"Here in Ghana, clubs find it very difficult to cope when made to play behind closed doors so holding the remaining games without the fans should not even be an option.
He continues: "Football is nothing without the fans at the stadia. The fans will not even go the stadia if authorities even decide to allow them because they will fear to contract the virus.
"We must focus on saving human lives and not put people at risk because of the game."
The Porcupine Warriors ended the first round of the season in third place with a game in hand.
