It would be recalled that, the Government placed a ban on all social gatherings including sporting activities in March, 2020 as a way to mitigate the spread of the novel Coronavirus.

GFA with strict restrictions from Confederation of Africa Football chose Asante Kotoko and Ashantigold SC to represent Ghana in next season’s CAF inter-club competitions.
