Dreams FC striker Abel Manomey has taken to his Facebook page to express his disappointment following the GFA's decision to cancel the 2019-20 Ghana Football Season.

According to University of Education graduate, the domestic Footballers are the ultimate loses.

Abel Manomey Writes:

The Ghana Football Association has been coerced to cancel the Football season because of covid 19.

On the other hand the government is encouraging us as citizens to register and vote on December 7th, following safety protocols, this is terrible.

People are walking freely, patronizing markets, going to church and mosque to pray for one hour but domestic based footballers cannot continue the football season because of covid 19?

How do domestic based footballers survive especially when most Ghana Premier league clubs cannot raise monies to pay their players when there is no league in session?

Are they thinking about the over 84,000 domestic based footballers who are the major stakeholders of Ghana League and it effects to their living standards?

How do domestic based footballers in Ghana survive to take care of themselves and their families at this time before the league resumes again ?

Can’t the league continue with clubs following the safety protocols before, during and after games for the safety of players and the team as a whole?

This one I cannot breathe, domestic based footballers lives matter. I am really sad...
