The owner of New Edubiase United, Abdul Salam Yakubu, has attributed the ban on Baba Yara Sports Stadium for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers to poor leadership.
The stadium, which hosted Ghana’s recent game against Angola, was banned due to an “unsuitable playing field.”
As a result, Ghana may have to host its October match against Sudan in Togo, Nigeria, or Ivory Coast.
Reacting to the issue in an interview with Asempa FM he said, “If you ask me Abdul Salam Yakubu, it is bad leadership that led to the CAF stadium ban. In this country, our leaders don’t take us seriously.
“They all do what they like. They are all thinking about their interest. We had four stadia that could host CAF Category Three matches. What led to this ban?
“The stadia belong to the government so all the blame should go to the government.”
The ban has led to the dismissal of the Director General of the National Sports Authority by President Akufo-Addo on Tuesday.
