Coronavirus: Ghana Premier League coach makes bold call for season abrogation

Eleven Wonders coach Ignatius Osei-Fosu is advocating for the abrogation of the 2019-20 Ghana Premier League should its coronavirus-induced suspension persist beyond one month.

The top-flight is in the second week of a forced break following a government directive banning on all public gatherings including sporting events as part of measures to curb the spread of the disease.

The pandemic, also known as Covid-19, has so far infected over 510,644 worldwide and claimed 23,028 lives.

"I'm a fan of a proper calendar. If we're going to have a prolonged suspension, it may be better to abrogate the current season and start afresh to synchronise with all the other leagues in the world to allow proper transitions and transfers," Osei-Fosu told Goal on Thursday.
