After assessment of the Accra Sports Stadium, the Confederation of African Football, CAF has approved the stadium fit for purpose to host the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier between Ghana and Sudan.
CAF inspected both the Accra Sports Stadium and the Cape Coast Stadium last week but disapproved the later.
The game between Ghana and Sudan will be played on October 11, 2024.
CAF Approval statement read:
“Following a comprehensive review of the reports of the CAF independent inspection regarding the Cape Coast and Accra Sports Stadia, 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”.
