“We can’t be blamed for this because there were Great Olympics supporters too and they even won and jubilated during and after the game. it’s a collective effort between the NSA, GFA, clubs and the FANS to ensure covid-19 protocols in our various stadiums” he argued.

“We are not happy. We are not okay with the decision from the GFA to ban fans from our stadium and we will persue the case. We will go to the disciplinary committee to defend our case“ Elvis concluded.
