Football fans to be vaccinated at league centres

General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, Prosper Harrison Addo has revealed plans from the GFA to rollout vaccines to football fans at league centres to help fight the spread of the coronavirus pandemic.

According Prosper Addo, clubs will be working with COVID vaccination officials before, during and after games to help control the spread of the new Omicron variant and other variants of the virus.

“We are ensuring that all the stakeholders of the footballing ecosystem are vaccinated. We have even engaged clubs to ensure that they can work with the COVID officials in their locality to bring them to match venues in this December that has been declared a month of vaccination in Ghana and ensure that supporters get vaccinated so that in January when government moves into full swing, soccer fans would be ready so that we don’t have anybody missing on the beautiful game of football,” he said said on Luv FM.

Prosper Addo believes football supporters in the country need to understand the importance of this vaccination exercise and take it seriously to avoid premature casualties.

“This December, a few times we will see clubs working with Covid officials at match centres on match days so that their supporters will take advantage and get vaccinated.

“Together we have to protect ourselves; we can’t protect one centre and leave the rest so until we get a good number vaccinated we are all not safe and that’s why I’ll urge and plead with both the sporting and general media to push home the message together with the government in this pandemic period,” he said.
