Coronavirus: Ghana FA and Ghalca working to 'convince' government for October football return

Ghana League Clubs Association president Kudjoe Fianoo reveals his outfit and the Ghana Football Association (GFA) are currently engaging the Ministry of Youth and Sports to ensure the return of football in October.
