CAF inspects Accra and Cape Coast Stadia for possible approval

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has finalized inspections of the Accra and Cape Coast stadiums for potential approval to host category C matches, as reported by Joy Sports.

The suspension of the Baba Yara Stadium’s license to host category C games has been enacted due to the inadequacy of its playing surface.

The decision by CAF has resulted in Ghana lacking a certified stadium for hosting international fixtures. Consequently, the country had to explore alternative venues overseas for their October doubleheader against Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.

Reports indicate that CAF inspectors conducted a visit to Ghana over the weekend to evaluate the Accra and Cape Coast stadiums.

The Ministry of Sports requested this inspection to ensure the successful hosting of the upcoming games in the local area.

The Ministry previously requested that the Ghana Football Association submit an appeal to CAF for a reinspection of the Accra, Legon, and Cape Coast stadiums in light of the initial communication received from CAF.

If either stadium meets the necessary standards, Ghana is anticipated to obtain temporary approval to host the October AFCON qualifiers.

In a recent session with the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif and the Board Chairman of the National Sports Authority (NSA), Seth Panwum, confirmed that the match against Sudan will take place in Ghana.

Ghana will host Sudan in the first leg on Friday, October 11, before traveling to Libya to compete against Sudan again at the Martyrs of February Stadium on Monday, October 14.

The Black Stars currently hold the third position in Group F, having secured one point from two matches.
