As the various junior national teams had resumed camping ahead of their respectful qualifiers, there were concerns over who was going to bear the cost for the COVID-19 tests of the players.

Well, it seems everything has been catered for by the government as it has been revealed by the special advisor on health at the presidency, Dr. Nsiah Asare.

According to him, the government will take up the total cost of the COVID-19 test on players and officials of the junior national teams.

Speaking in a recent radio submission, he said;

“The minister of sports had earlier on presented a proposal on the national teams who had international assignments so we had to advise the president to allow the teams train to begin 1st August 2020.

The return matches of these national teams will be playing behind closed doors, the GFA will choose the venues for these games.

The teams will be camped with tight security where no one will be allowed to come out as done in our second cycle institutions till they complete the return encounters

We will be doing the mandatory testing for these national teams as FIFA has recommended and the European clubs are following.”
