Sports Minister Mustapha Ussif has directed the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to propose the Legon Stadium as an alternative venue after CAF declared the Baba Yara Stadium unfit for international matches.
This decision followed Ghana’s 1-0 loss to Angola in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. Ussif emphasized that the Legon Stadium, recently upgraded for the 2023 African Games, has successfully hosted various athletic events and football matches, making it a strong contender for future AFCON qualifiers.
Further, the ministry also confirmed that the GFA has asked CAF to reassess the Accra Sports Stadium for its capacity to host Category 3 matches, including Ghana’s upcoming AFCON fixtures.
Previously, the Accra Sports Stadium hosted Category 2 matches, featuring Ghanaian clubs FC Samartex and Nsoatreman FC in the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup.
