CAF conveyed its approval of the facility after the country submitted both the Accra Sports Stadium and the Cape Coast Sports Stadium for evaluation last month.

“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,” the letter read.

“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,” it added.

CAF recently banned the Baba Yara Stadium, the only approved venue for Ghana’s Black Stars matches, due to its failure to meet required standards.

This has left Ghana scrambling to find a suitable venue for the crucial 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier against Sudan.
