The 2020 Accra Basketball League (ABL) Season has been suspended Basketballghana.com can confirm in the wake of the Corona Virus outbreak.
Ghana has thus far recorded cases of confirmed Corona Virus and measures have been taken to prevent the spread of the disease.
The West African nation’s President Nana Akufo-Addo issued a directive to ban all social gatherings including those for sporting activities earlier this week.
In response to the directive, league managers decided to halt the league “until further notice” in a written statement that was released later.
