"The plan, presented to members of the Association for review includes putting in place Game Centres, Isolation centres, fumigation and Disinfection, testing and training facilities, Transport services, training facilities, match officials and security."

"The GFA Competitions Department proposes for the return of football in the 2020/21 season under strict protocols in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic," the plan read.

Other areas that the GFA will implement in the resumption protocols includes Match Officials, Security, TV broadcast, and media Services.

The GFA has also put in place a detailed calendar involving all National team activities for the rest of the season.
