The Chairman of the Ghana’s FA Cup Committee Wilson Arthur has pleaded with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to continue with the league season.
The 2019/20 league season in Ghana has been suspended due to the outbreak of the novel Coronavirus in the country.
Many have been calling for the resumption of the league season while others want it to be truncated for clubs to prepare for the next season.

But Mr. Wilson Arthur believes football in Ghana will lose its credibility thus sponsors will find it difficult to invest in the league when the season is truncated.
“It’s important to complete the season.. Why should the league be truncated when some have developed a strategy and their leagues are ongoing.

“We owe referees and needs to pay them, where will we get the money to pay them when the season is truncated.. Sponsorship for next season too will be difficult if the current season is cancelled due to the Covid-19.
“If the FA cancel the season there will be huge debt to incur. Because we [FA Cup Committee] will be facing a huge debt since MTN will not be paying us if the season is cancelled , it was in the contract”, Wilson Arthur told Kumasi based Fox FM.
