NSA asks Gov’t to review 25% stadium capacity ahead of Hearts of Oak-Kotoko game
The National Sports Authority has written to the government COVID-19 task force to consider reviewing the current 25% capacity arrangement currently in place for football matches in the country.
In January 2021, government granted permission for football stadiums across the country to admit up to 25% capacity, a revision from the ‘no fans’ at stadium directive that came into effect at the height of the coronavirus pandemic.
However, more than a year since the 25% capacity directive, stakeholders have urged government to relax the rule to allow more fans into the stadiums.
