The National Sports Authority (NSA) has announced that both the Accra and Cape Coast stadiums are adequately prepared to host the forthcoming match between Ghana and Sudan in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers.
The official confirmation of the venue for the matchday three games remains pending, following the Confederation of African Football (CAF)’s decision to ban the Baba Yara Stadium due to its unplayable surface.
Notwithstanding certain reports suggesting that the game could occur in Ivory Coast, Seth Panwum, the Board Chairman of the NSA, asserted that the Cape Coast and Accra Sports stadia are adequately equipped to host the match.

“Cape Coast is prepared, Accra is prepared.” Request that your representatives from CAF come to assess the situation; this is our current status, and we await their arrival. I can confidently state that should they come, the match will indeed take place in Ghana,” he articulated during his appearance before the Parliamentary Select Committee on Sports, Culture and Tourism on Wednesday.
The Black Stars are preparing to reconvene for their upcoming doubleheader against Kwesi Appiah’s Sudan next month.
