The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has requested the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to select a venue outside Ghana for the next two qualifiers for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON).
This follows the withdrawal of approval by the continent’s football-governing body on the Baba Yara Stadium.
This means that, there’s currently NO stadium in Ghana fit to host an international CAF or FIFA match of that category.
CAF has further made recommendations that needs fixing before the next inspection date.
If pitch doesn’t pass approval, Ghana’s game against Sudan on October 11 will be moved to a neutral African country.
The NSA will require around $100,000 to fix the current pitch in the interim before a more modern one may be installed permanently.
Ghana next fixture is against Kwasi Appiah’s Sudan, 11th October 2024
