Officials of the Ghanaian Football Association have confirmed Wednesday that the country's domestic football league season for 2019/2020 has been cancelled due to COVID-19.

Before the league was halted in mid-March, clubs had played 14 or 15 matches in the 34-round championship, with Aduana Stars leading by one point.

“The executive council of the Ghana Football Association has a taken a decision to cancel the 2019/2020 season following a marathon meeting,” the governing body said on its website.

The national association opted to nominate Asante Kotoko and Ashanti Gold for the 2020/2021 African club competitions as they were the representatives this season.

Twice winners Kotoko will compete in the CAF Champions League and Ashanti Gold in the CAF Confederation Cup, the African equivalent of the UEFA Europa League.

The 2020/2021 CAF competitions are scheduled to kick off on August 7 but seem likely to be delayed because of the COVID-19 disease.
