The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is waiting for Confederation of African Football’s (CAF) decision after their inspection of Accra and Cape Coast stadia for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Sudan.
CAF officials over the weekend inspected the two facilities following a request by the Ghana FA and the Ministry of Youth and Sports.
The Baba Yara Stadium in Kumasi, which hosted Ghana’s last game against Angola, has been banned by CAF due to the poor nature of the pitch.
And at the #SaveGhanaFootball probe before Parliament’s Sports Select Committee on Monday, Kurt Okraku, president of the GFA said that the final decision now rests with the continent’s football governing body, CAF.
The GFA boss told Parliament, “Mr. Chairman, we are waiting for CAF. We have done the hard work, we are waiting for CAF. The experts within us have been there and I would say that I will not comment on their report to me.”
He added, “I will wait for CAF to speak.”
The Black Stars are billed to play their Sudanese counterparts in a doubleheader later this month.
Ghana will host Sudan on October 11 at a yet-to-be-named venue before heading to Libya for the return match at the Martyrs of February Stadium on October 14.
Ghana suffered a 1-0 defeat to Angola in Kumasi and later drew 1-1 against Niger, leaving them third in Group F with one point.
