Sports Physician Dr. Prince Pamboe has appealed to the government to help the clubs with the COVID-19 testing ahead of the start of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League.
As directed by President Nana Akufo-Addo on the restart of football next month amid the coronavirus pandemic, all clubs are expected to undertake the mandatory testing before the league starts.
According to the CAF Medical officer, the government should assist the various clubs to undertake the COVID-19 test as most teams cannot afford the cost of the testing.
Speaking in an interview on Wamputu Sports with Odiasempa Kwame Oware on Happy 98.9 FM, he said, “ Government should take up the cost of the COVID-19 testing and it will really help because if the government doesn’t come in, most of the players cannot afford the test”.
Happy Sports understands that government has decided to bear the cost of all the COVID-19 testing of players and officials ahead of the league start next month.
