Asante Kotoko midfielder, Adom Frimpong has called for the cancellation of the 2019/2020 Ghana Premier League season due to the outbreak coronavirus in the country.

Football in the country has come to a halt after the president placed a ban on social gathering which affected the Ghana Premier League.

Talking to Kotoko Express App, Adom Frimpong believes the well being of the fans should be paramount and urges the authorities to cancel the season and declare the GPL season null and void.

“We should declare the season null and void, We are faced with a deadly virus and our focus must be on saving lives than football. It would be better to call off the season and wait until the pandemic is over before we start a new one than to play in an empty stadium” Adom Frimpong

“Here in Ghana, clubs find it very difficult to cope when made to play behind closed doors so holding the remaining games without the fans should not even be an option.”

“Football is nothing without the fans at the stadia, The fans will not even go the stadia if authorities even decide to allow them because they will fear to contract the virus. We must focus on saving human lives and not put people at risk because of the game.” he added
