Coronavirus: Government of Ghana urged to fund player testing for proposed Premier League return

Techiman Eleven Wonders chief executive officer Takyi Arhin wants the Government of Ghana to take up the responsibility of player testing for the proposed return of football in the country amid the coronavirus pandemic.

All domestic competitions have been on hold since a national ban on public gatherings, including sporting and religious events, came into effect as part of measures to curb the spread of the deadly disease on March 15.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has seen the first request for the prompt return of football under tight safety protocols turned down by the national government, partly due to the cost of tests which are to be a major part of affairs under the proposed system.
