The Confederation of African Football is on the verge of a shocking U-turn, concerning Ghana’s eligibility for hosting category C games.
CAF, a few weeks ago, withdrew the Baba Yara’s approval for hosting CAF category C games, which left Ghana without a single standard stadium.
The development led to Ghana having to choose an alternative venue outside the country for October’s AFCON qualifier at home against Sudan, upon the direction of CAF.
However, CAF inspectors were in Ghana over the weekend, to inspect the Accra and Cape Coast Stadia, upon the request of the Ministry of Sports, in their attempt to prevent the monumental embarrassment.
The Sports Ministry had previously, upon the earlier communique from CAF, asked the Ghana Football Association to request that CAF reinspect the Accra, Legon and Cape Coast Stadia.
Ghana is now likely to receive temporary approval for the October AFCON qualifiers, if either stadia is deemed fit for purpose.
