The Ghana Football Association has agreed to share monies received as COVID-19 relief fund to clubs following a meeting on Tuesday, according to GHANASoccernet.com can.

The decision to split the monies among clubs was taken at a marathon Executive Council meeting of the GFA today, GHANASoccernet.com can confirm.

The monies will be shared among the Premier League clubs, Division One clubs, and the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA).

Premier League clubs will receive $15,000 with Division One clubs taking $10,000. GHALCA will receive $2,000.

The first tranche of money from FIFA is expected to be received by the FA sooner, with Premier League clubs receiving $10,000 first and $5,000 later.



Division One clubs will be given an amount of $5,000 from the first tranche, before later receiving $2000.

This will be seen as huge relief for the clubs following the unexpected financial difficulties faced due to the impact of COVID-19.

The 2019/20 season had to be ended following the increasing cases of coronavirus in the West African nation.

This has forced clubs to release players from camp with some teams owing salaries of players for more than two months.

The future of the Ghana Premier League is yet to be decided, with a date for congress to be decided for decision making.

The Ghana Football Association has proposed to the presidential commission on COVID-19 on continuing with the 2019/20 football season behind closed doors if the ban on social gathering is lifted, according to Ghanasoccernet



The government of Ghana has placed a ban on social gatherings and sporting activities until May 31 due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

The Ghana FA has been engaging its stakeholders in a virtual meeting to decide on the future of the season.

Ghana FA president Kurt Okraku in an interview says clubs will be affected if the season is canceled. Thus the FA is holding talks with the government to continue with the season behind closed doors.

According to sources, clubs will be given at least six weeks to prepare after a ban on public gatherings is lifted.

Sources say the FA needs the government in order to carry out this proposal of playing the matches behind closed doors.

The GFA will also emulate some modules from the Bundesliga such as testing players and officials before the league restart.

The 2019/20 football season has been suspended since March this year due to the coronavirus outbreak.

The Ghana FA has announced it will decide on the future of the season on June 30 after consulting government and health authorities.
