The Confederation of Football (CAF), has approved the Accra Sports Stadium to host the 2025 AFCON qualifier between Ghana and Sudan on October 11.
The Baba Yara Stadium was originally scheduled to host the game; however, it was rejected since it did not meet the standards to host international games.
The approval of the stadium for the game comes after renovation works were conducted, especially the pitch.
A letter from CAF written to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) General Secretary, Prosper Harrison Addo, stated that,
“Following a comprehensive review of the reports of the CAF independent inspection regarding the Cape Coast and Accra Sports Stadium, we are pleased to inform you that the Accra Sports Stadium has been approved to host the AFCON Qualifiers for Morocco 2025.
Specifically, it will host the Group F-Matchday 3 encounter between Ghana and Sudan, which is scheduled for October 11, 2024.”
“In light of this approval, we kindly request that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the stadium management team prioritise the necessary enhancements to the pitch and other critical areas of the stadium leading up to the match day to ensure an optimal experience for both teams and the attending fans.
Please note that CAF will continue to closely monitor the readiness of the stadium for this match, as well as for future CAF-sanctioned events.
