After a 10-month absence, the various venues came to light as football fans trooped in to watch their various teams compete in the ongoing football season (Ghana Premier League, Division One League and others).
Football games had been played behind closed doors due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 in the country in March 2020.
It followed up with the truncation of the 2019/20 Ghana football season in June that same year.
Fans were expectant and excited when government eased restrictions on football activities with the game scheduled to bounce back in October last year.
In the directive from the President Nana Akufo-Addo, 25 per cent of fans were to be admitted at their various stadia amid the coronavirus pandemic.
On 8th January 2021, the stadium gates were opened for football fans to watch the Ghana Premier League between Legon Cities and West Africa Football Academy (WAFA) at the Accra Sports Stadium. The first game to usher in the fans after the ban was lifted.
For the first time, clubs were able to make some money from gate proceeds per the limited number of people allowed entry into the stadium.
