Published on: 20 February 2019

Team manager of Sunyani based Prison Ladies, Fainusatu Naomi Abdulai has revealed that players from the National Women's League are getting pregnant because of the lack of football in the country. 

Football in Ghana was brought to a halt following the revelations of the Anas documentary dubbed number 12. A documentary that exposed the rot in Ghana Football.

However, the Normalisation Committee appointed to bring football to Normalcy in the West African nation has confirmed the return of women's football next month.

The news has been greeted with huge praise with Fuinusatu commending the NC for the efforts to get the players back to work.

The competition is expected to kick off on March 9, 2019, at various venues.

"Inactive football brings a lot of problems. Some players are engaged in many social vices because they are not actively playing so we are excited by the return of football", she told Happy FM.

"We are grateful to the Normalization committee for their decision to organize this special competition for us to be active and fit again"

"Two of our players are heavily pregnant and one is pregnant but not visible.

"One of them is married and the others are engaged so I am not saying that pregnancy and giving birth is not good but because they are grown-ups"

"I believe if are playing football they won’t get pregnant now. They might actually decide to give birth later", she concluded.
